A campy variety show that mimics an overenthusiastic kick-off event for a corporate retreat for the fictional company Men-ses Period Panties. It pokes fun at the boring jargon, toxic positivity and team building nonsense inherent to the business world. Hosted by comedians Rebekka Johnson (Netflix's GLOW) and Anne Gregory (NBC's Parks and Recreation) and produced by the UK's own Kate Nash. Guest acts feature a rotating cast of incredible Fringe performers (sometimes) including the iconic pop-star and actress herself. It's a new and fun romp every night!
