FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 24, 2019
Men’s Health SEXpert grabs audiences ‘by the balls.’
KKNY Productions presents
Madame Komondor Will See You Now at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
Madame Komondor Will See You Now is a wildly interactive solo comedy show that probes everything from excessive male masturbation to enhancing women’s pleasure. Madame Komondor’s completely unscientific sex rant skewers traditional values while exposing the effects of pornography on love and the female orgasm. Madame strips away the fourth wall to teach, answer audience questions, and invite members to the stage to explore examples of consent, cat calling, and most importantly, how to properly lick and suck a mango.
Trigger Warning: Men will be touched (with consent).
With a stern hand and a bag chocolates, Madame invites men up on stage to “Take a vacation from being dominant,” and learn how to treat a woman like a human being. Audiences can also expect group tongue training and a Q & A session where an orgasmic countdown clock ticks away as they write anonymous questions to Madame. Masturbation awareness bracelets and organic lavender sachets are among the prizes awarded to participating audience members.
Madame Komondor was born in the wake of the Me Too movement during a trip to Paris. Krista comments, “I created Madame at a time when I was feeling frustrated and powerless. I love her because she is confident, cheeky, and unapologetic. As Madame Komondor, I felt safe beneath a mask of glossy red lipstick and a fake French accent; I felt like I could say all of the things I wanted to say, and it was probably the first time I ever felt comfortable flirting with a man.”
