Whatever happened to Divine Brown? Can a phone sex operator get RSI? Do people really have sex through a pizza? Ever fantasised about an amputee? Frustrated you can’t look any of this up on your work computer? Then Hot Pink Bits is the show for you.
That’s right New Zealand’s favourite saucy minx, Penny Ashton is back in Australia after wowing the masses in the UK, NZ, USA and Canada where she gathered sold-out houses and sparkling reviews for her award-nominated show which trawls the ins and…outs of the international sex industry. It’s crammed full of titillating facts and hour glass figures that will tell you all about the lives of the he’s, she’s, and he-she’s that make a living in the world’s oldest profession.
Resplendent in a hot pink corset and strung up in fishnets, Ashton will sing, dance and pontificate on pornography, prostitutes and Shane Warne in a burlesque-esque romp through the kickers of the global sex trade. There’ll be a group orgasm, a guest porn-star and a very sexy stripper. Kicks will be high, fetishes will be indulged and Nana will need a lie down. But of course it will all be done…in the best POSSIBLE taste.
Penny Ashton is New Zealand’s own global comedienne who has been making a splash on the world stage since 2002 and she has sold out shows from Edinburgh to Adelaide to Edmonton. She has four Best NZ Female Comedienne nominations, three Adelaide Fringe People’s Choice nominations and one Honourable Mention from The Wellington Fringe Festival Awards. One day she hopes to win something.
