Watch this hot and uplifting review of François' Raunchy Romp from the Winnipeg Fringe Festival.

The “most fearsome fruit in all of France,” François le Foutre, makes his fringe debut in this one-man adult comedy. Jam-packed with double entendres and sexual innuendo, the show brings audience members onstage to act out swashbuckling scenes.

But heavy reliance on audience participation can backfire, and with only 10 people at the afternoon matinee, the performance wrapped after just 35 minutes (billed as 60). Le Foutre explained the show changes each time, with rotating readings and excerpts shaped by the crowd’s energy.

The Texas-based performer’s physical storytelling — adapted from his self-published romance-adventure series The Seamen Sexology — may be better suited to busking at Renaissance street fairs, where he typically tours his act.

Still, this is the kind of show you might enjoy with a group of friends looking for easy laughs, raunchy antics or the chance to get humped on stage by a gay pirate.
