Novak makes for fellatio - as text, as pastime. The penis is her ostensible subject, yet there are other stories here: a coming-of-age one, and another about what it means to be the not-so-proud owner of both a sack of sex potatoes built, at least in part, to give pleasure to men, and a brain that finds a lot of the business of sex farcical. Still, she’s clever enough in using a hand, an elbow or her chin when she needs to give a joke a visual boost. She paces the stage obsessively, tracing the length of the microphone cord as though walking a mandala and clutching the mike close to her chest. Her body or, as she likes to call it, “a sack of sex potatoes” seems more like an inconvenience. I’d bet that her actual inner monologue is a lot more self-critical, but arrogance is a good look for her. She has a poetic sensibility, she tells us she is a born orator and, if anything, too articulate. (Get your mind out of the gutter.) But that’s how she likes it. We are working on the problem, sir! We appreciate your patience.” Her director, the fellow comedian John Early, should probably have told her that the show doesn’t need two climaxes.
Recalling the first time she performed oral sex, she says she found herself wishing she had a second mouth to narrate the attempt: “We are aware of the situation. Novak segues into reminiscence, she prefers to cast herself as an observer. There’s a vast difference between injecting tendons and a cortisone joint injection so here’s what we all need to know before thinking we’ve found the magic bullet. Without my even knowing it, I’d made a great choice. Eliot quotations may want to look elsewhere.Įven as Ms. Not like in 2007, when I cried in joy when the sports medicine doctor injected my IT Band. It’s not up to code.” She has thoughts on female genitalia and its metaphors, too: “If someone gave me a bouquet of roses, and one of them looked like my vulva, I’d say I think someone stepped on one of the roses.” Bachelorettes in search of a good time and fewer T.S.
It is, she says, “a bit architectural for what’s going on there. She explains why a penis is not like a snake, why penetration is a misnomer, why we might want to rethink a word like erection. In place of off-color riffs and lewd visual aids, Novak deconstructs the semantics of heterosexual sex.
