The Sh!t Show: An Original Turd

The six women performing in the Sh!t Show deserve some kudos for their energy and their commitment to each of the characters they play butthis is insufficient to save brutally juvenile material.

Aside from some funny and inspired visual gags,this clownshow comes across as a group of gradesix studentssnickering over how many ways we use the word for excrement in our every-day lives.

The attempt to cobble together a morality play at the end falls flat in spite of the borrowing of CharlieChaplin'sfamous love speech in its entirety. Watch The Great Dictator and have a pleasant constitutional. Your time will be better spent.
