Fringe Review: The Cockwhisperer

                                                                                                                                       Philip Cairns

If you love cock, you’ll love The Cockwhisperer. Colette Kendall is a master storyteller. In this solo show, she takes us on a very personal but hilarious journey through her encounters with the penis. The show begins with her sexual awakening, at age 15, with an older guy, then continues on to her first unhappy marriage with an abusive, neglectful husband. It ends with her finding happiness with another, kinder man. Kendall commands the stage with her hilarious stories and frank talk about the male member, how she lost her virginity and other fascinating “Cock Facts”. This is a woman who knows all about cocks and how to pleasure them.


The show is never vulgar or tasteless. There are tons of laughs and some moving bits as well. You won’t be bored for a single second. You’ll be sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting for the next great story. Colette writes insightful dialogue with sock-it- to-me punch lines. I left the theatre feeling very satisfied, wishing that the 70 minute show was longer. I can’t wait for her next visit to a Toronto theatre.
