Wet

 
Laura Tucker Review by Laura Tucker 4 Published: 25 Aug 2023 Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose Show Dates: 15 Aug 2023-27 Aug 2023

When you think of cabaret you might think of bawdy strip teases, caricatures of femininity, and lewd jokes. Wet delivers much more than expectation, adding heart, intellect and genuine eroticism to proceedings.

A moist romp with an empowering feminist message

Settle in for an evening with an ensemble of five wet, female-identifying acts – including your MC, ‘Moist Cooch’ – who hail all the way from Australia to bring a late-night romp that bravely tackles difficult and emotive topics such as beauty standards, motherhood and race.

The show’s message of pussy empowerment and bodily ownership is well considered, and the nudity feels political rather than self-indulgent. Created by a group of women who call themselves The Hairy Godmothers, Wet understands that female bodies can be titillating as well as philosophical.

We are treated to original songs, modern choreography and a sexy science lesson teaching the paradox of Schrodinger’s Pussy. As well as being hilarious, Wet is also emotive and shocking in its no-holds-barred discussion of taboo subjects.

Though the performance is largely geared towards women, regardless of gender, you’re sure to giggle, cry and applaud your way to bodily autonomy, safe in the hands of the Hairy Godmothers from Oz.

The Blurb:

Open the floodgates and prepare for a torrential downpour, folks! The women of The Hairy Godmothers submerge your juicy minds in an unforgettable cathartic comedy-cabaret. When you think of Wet, do you imagine wetting yourself with laughter, weeping a profound tear, or getting swept away in a deluge of pleasure? In any case, prepare for a flash flood as we explore the vast oceans of femininity and femaleness in this adults-only cabaret with heart. Wet (formerly Pussy) premiered in Australia to sold-out audiences, standing ovations, five-star reviews, and wet seats... in all the best ways.
