June 4, 2021, 7:30pm. A fictitious male stripper troupe of some of Canada’s best improvisational comedians; a sexylarious improv comedy show. They try to be sexy… it just comes out funny. Grooving, gyrating, bantering with the audience, an hilarious twist on improv sketches. Singing, “dancing” oiled up and ready to make you laugh. A smash hit at Adelaide Fringe.
