This article is from 2008.

1. New Electric Ballroom

Ladies, have we not all dreamed of having our very own fishmonger stripped bare, hosed down and scrubbed by our older sisters before he is presented to us in a glittery blue suit? And there's even a post-nude song to commemorate the moment.

Five festival nudes - New Electric Ballroom

2. Dybbuk/4.48 Psychosis

Poland's answer to Angelina Jolie, Magdalena Cielecka strips down not once, but twice in these two heavy duty theatre pieces. She answers the male audience members' prayers in both the Polish spectaculars hitting the International Festival. All completely intrinsic to the plot you understand.

3. Foreskins Lament

Enough said.

4. Scott Capurro

Capurro takes the metaphor of stand-up-as-masturbation to its logical conclusion by pulling down his trousers and pants and indulging in some on stage onanism. Stay out of the front rows.

5. Jim Rose Circus

A woman's bottom. Blue paint. You know the story. Or, if you don't, it involves bare behinds and impressive trajectories. Again, stay out of the front rows. And the back ones for that matter - she's a good shot.
