Review: SEX TIPS Audiences Raise the Roof at McDavid Studio in Ft. Worth Image

Looking for a fun adventure this weekend in Fort Worth? You have three more opportunities to see SEX TIPS FOR STRAIGHT WOMEN FROM A GAY MAN! Whether you are seeking a memorable date night or want to hit the town with friends, put down the Cards Against Humanity and go see this show instead!

Here's what you need to know: SEX TIPS is a play by Matt Murphy, inspired by a 1997 novel of the same name. There are three characters. Robyn (Jacklyn Collier), a serious university professor who needs some tips on letting loose. Dan (Sean Hankinson), author of SEX TIPS FOR STRAIGHT WOMEN FROM A GAY MAN, who is eager to share his advice with the masses. And Stephan (Michael Milton), the very attractive assistant who Robyn would like to see naked (if only she knew what she was doing).

The show includes hysterical hands-on demonstrations of the sex tips, which leave audiences rolling in their seats. The actors deliver over-the-top performances that will make you marvel at the sheer amount of energy required to put on this show (You can't help but be reminded of the pacing and humor of Will & Grace). Every cue in this production goes off without a hitch. From very speedy costume changes to slideshow transitions to tricky props with particular timing (think confetti canons, y'all!). The cast and crew are clearly ready for whatever comes their way. The only thing this experienced cast cannot control is an uncooperative and sometimes unruly audience, though they do their best to rise to the challenge.

Tips for the audience members: be prepared to have a great time. If an actor walks up to you and invites you to get on stage, get your booty up there and join the fun! It's an experience you won't soon forget. (Oh, and if you happen to stay in the audience instead of getting in on the action, try to avoid yelling "Take it off!" too many times. If you are going to interrupt the actors at least come up with something more original.)

So relax, try not to over-analyze, and enjoy the ride. Laughter, like sex, is good for the soul. This show is recommended for mature audiences 16+. Tickets for the remaining weekend performances are available at: https://www.basshall.com/tickets--events/2017-18-pafw-season/17-18-broadway-specials/sex-tips-for-straight-women/
