Internet sensation and dancing philosopher/comedian, Toni Nagy, is coming to the Cannonball Fringe Festival with her solo show, “Men, Come Inside of Me.” This one of a kind comedy infused performance art extravaganza is a gender bender blender that will stir you into a healing frenzy. We open wide for the gender divide then come together to cross our legs in a collective effort to mend our broken parts. Opening day for press is Wednesday Sept 11th at 9pm at MAAS Building, 1320 N. 5th street.
Toni Nagy is beyond excited that her work is quantumly entangling with all the amazing artists set to perform at this year’s Cannonball Fringe. She says, “After just returning from the Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland, my emotional self is set on fire with the desire to shift the current paradigm with art. Storytelling and the abstract nature of comedy is one of the most effective ways to get people into their bodies and hearts to make real change in society and in their own lives. We have to feel to heal, and I truly think that conversations provoked by creative expressions are a crucial step in our emotional evolution.”
"Men, Come Inside of Me" is a comedic chaotic cosmos where Toni Nagy embodies the men that have come inside her - so she can better understand her own inner man. Toni's comedy is a combination of clowning, storytelling, stand-up, audience interaction, and dance. Her work is a lot like taking a micro-dose, but then an hour later wondering "wait, was that actually a macro-dose?" The intention of the show is ultimately about building empathy and understanding for all the parts of ourselves that we often feel shame towards. When we experience tenderness towards the self, we can then extend those caring vibe towards others - but don't worry, the show won't get sappy and there is equal opportunity genital infused humor.
"Men, Come Inside of Me" is an exploration of gender, sexuality, and identity that intends to unbox the confines of these labels and expose the present truth that we are all unnervingly similar. Toni uses her own personal stories to relate to the broader conversations around "masculinity" and "femininity" through a variety of characters, costumes, audience participation, and body parts. Nagy has performed this show to sold out audiences in NYC, Boston, and Portland Maine.
