Cvnt comedy review: Sexual show

‘Turn to the person on your left’: everyone in the audience shouts ‘you are a cunt’. ‘Now turn to the person on your right’: the crowd roars the words once again. If you’re looking for a Fringe show that openly explores female masturbation along with using the word that is commonly as well as negatively used to name female genitalia, then make some time to go and see Cvnt. During a 65-minute show, Australian born Sophie Power (dressed as a vulva) guides her shipping container-based audience through a sexual and deeply hilarious show.

Regardless of the giggling, laughing, snorting and fake orgasms performed by Power, the show has a solemn, deeper meaning, with individuals supported to express their past and present anxieties in regard to sex, relationships and people who have wronged them in their lives. It is this combination of comedy, audience participation and deeper conversations that make Cvnt stand out, leaving you laughing while giving you something to think about long after the show has finished.

Cvnt, Assembly George Square, until 31 August, 8.20pm.
