Clit Wit! Is one woman’s coming of age as a feminist and although the themes and ideas expressed were fairly standard, she was able to infuse them with her own unique perspective and a touch of humour.
Collette Kendall starts her story with a sex dream gone bad, which then weaves through her life — growing up and experiencing all of life’s wonders as a woman. These include being a younger sister, being the subject of unwelcome advances by a friend’s wing man, being raised by parents with strong influences, and how that impacted her when she became a mother herself.
Kendall shares how each of these experiences influenced her, explains the lessons she learned, and how, ultimately, she grew from them.
Kendall brings a Samantha Bee-esque vibe to her delivery, which works well as she works to balance her often harsh-reality based stories with a touch of humour.
While there was a little bit of movement in the show, Kendall spent most of the time reading from notes behind a podium stand, or referencing images that were projected onto a screen. The content was funny, but the delivery negatively impacted the work. Kendall indicated, after the show, that Clit Wit! is still a work in process — recently written and still being developed. Once she has command over the content and is able to come out from behind the podium, then she should shine. We saw the potential in the first five minutes of the show, and if she’s able to continue that level of confidence, performance quality, and engagement throughout the show, Clit Wit! is sure to be a standout on the Fringe circuit.
3 out 5 stars
She used that excuse – a work in progress – at one of her past shows. Not acceptable. If she’s not ready to deliver a polished performance she should stay home. Once bit, twice shy.
Agree, she appeared unready to show this work to a paying audience.
