SUMMARY:Colchester Fringe – Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts)
DESCRIPTION:THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING\, INTENSELY CONTROVERSIAL\, AND CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED COMEDY (of sorts) RETURNS TO COLCHESTER FRINGE. \nColchester Fringe invites the world’s leading lecturers to give talks on the issues that matter. That’s why Professor Handler David is excited to give a lecture on the kink of pup play and teach Colchester how to turn their bitchboys into good boys. What begins as a traditional lecture quickly transcends labels through stand-up\, homonormative puppets\, punk music\, gay sex\, and multimedia visuals to become a emotionally provocative and boldly introspective reflection on queer identity. “Filled with Puppy Power” (Watermark News)\, Pup Play “has a heart the size of Clifford the Big Red Dog.” (Broadway World) \nNoah Alfred Pantano writes and stars. He has been described by critics as “immeasurably talented” (Broadway World)\, “sharp\, quick\, and uncompromising” (GSCENE)\, and “bold\, brazen and stratospherically cheeky\, concealing beneath the girth of energy a good heart and a probing mind.” (Lost in Theatreland). Pantano was awarded runner-up for “Activist of the Year” at the National Queer Student Awards. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. \nPup Play has won five awards and tours around the world raising over $1400+ (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities.The show features music by Jake and the Nowhere\, Alan Xtra\, and Tungsten Lungs.The profits from this performance will be donated to a local Colchester LGBTQ+ charity.Pup Play is sponsored by Mr.Riegillio\, MessyPup\, BoboBear\, Sent With Pride\, and Essex Startups. \n*Please note there is no lift to access the top floor of Three Wise Monkeys. There are five flights of hand-railed stairs to reach the top floor with rest opportunities between each flight. Also\, their licensing does not allow anyone under the age of 18 years of age to be in the venue past 9pm. Please consider this when booking.
