Lucy Pook: Pursed Lip
Lucy Pook / PBH's Free Fringe • Amateur Company
About the show
Lucy Pook: Pursed Lip is a free, 45-minute comedy and performance art show at The Street. Lucy Pook explores historical and contemporary representation in art, film and social media, framing the show as a 'Memento mori' on the act of looking. The show straddles comedy and performance art, touching on superficial art theory and feminist content with jokes offered as a palette cleanser along the way. Audience participation is involved, and the show carries a suggested nudity warning. Suitable for ages 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A self-aware blend of comedy and performance art that invites you to think about how we look — and what looking means. Pook promises laughs alongside the theory, making for an irreverent and thought-provoking free hour.
