In the Lounge Split Bill: The Big Dick & Gather ‘Round Maria José & Rora Brodwin

About This Show

The Big Dick is an absurd satirical monologue that personifies patriarchy as The Big Dick. A big dick biographer chronicles The Big Dick’s accomplishments and charming attributes that we’ve all come to, umm, love. Right? You love The Big Dick, don’t you?

In Gather ‘Round, A goddess arises from wheat fields to build a city of iron and bronze. Come grab a drink, gather ’round, and enjoy a story of adventure and delight.
