The show - which contains adult themes, language and content - received great reviews at its 2016 premiere in Harlem and has been performed in front of sold out houses at The Producers Club and Broadway Comedy Club in Manhattan.

"Nicky Sunshine radiates her multiple talents in "Confessions of a Massage Parlor Madam". A brilliantly crafted one-woman tour de force! This show is intelligent, funny, honest, sometimes shocking, and hauntingly hilarious. A one of a kind journey with a massage...Ahem...message. I highly recommend it."
