Choking the chicken. Beating your meat. Jerkin’ the gherkin. Is Dr. Walter Winkworth-Peréz (Shane Mayforth) a serious academic or just jerkin’ around with his in-depth study of pantomime masturbation throughout performing arts history?
Stroke of Genius is where high-brow academia meets low-brow dick jokes in this ribald multidisciplinary university lecture, written by Vulva Va Voom and Mayforth.
With unending euphemisms, puns and double entendres, the team lampoons the ivory tower of academia, high-brow art, puritanical culture, and deconstructs the general hypocrisy of American conservatism. So come for the goofy humour, stay for the political satire, and revel in the fine art of pantomime masturbation.
