From the director of Red Bastard! Think it's a solo show? Think again. Private eye Butt Kapinski invites you to co-star in a film noir fantasia. This funny, filthy, fully interactive ride is riddled with sex, sin and subterfuge, and it's been tearing up North America! 'I can't remember when I've laughed so hard or so often' ***** (Calgary Herald). 'The riskiest show in town' (Edmonton Journal). Best of Fest: Edmonton, Calgary, Hollywood. Let's kick reality to the curb and play in a world of dark dreams and bad similes! Adults only. No seat is safe.
