Thirteen years as a Portland, Oregon sex shop worker has taught mother of three Kristine Levine several things including: how to quickly dispose of a dead body, some sights can't be unseen, it probably goes in your bum. Doug Stanhope says, 'Most comics use things like rape, abortion or child molestation as punch lines, Kristine uses them as jumping-off points and all the stories are true. Absolutely one of the funniest people I know'. This show blends comedy, reality, family and yes, porn - all with perfect balance. Lucky crowds will have their sensibilities challenged and happily bruised.

Everything is funny in her Kristine Levine's hands
Kristine Levine has turned some serious hardships in her life into comedy gold, from childhood abuse to a suicide bid by a straying husband - but it's all genuinely funny in her hands, says fellow comic Doug Stanhope.

So far, this show has had me laughing harder than any other at the festival - my sides literally ached at the end! Kristine works amazingly with the audience, and her blunt openness about the sometimes very dark times in her life gives the laughter even more impact. Her very American style won't suit everyone, but she's been described as " a cross between Lenny Bruce and Roseanne Barr" - so if that's your thing, this woman is perfect. Afterwards, I wanted to hug her, buy her a pint and talk about porn all night long.
