Fringe Review: Becoming Magic Mike: An Action Adventure Comedy

Philip Cairns


The audience loved Becoming Magic Mike: An Action Adventure Comedy, a laugh-a- minute solo play written and performed by DK Reinemer. In this frenetic, rapid fire, sexy farce, a detective goes undercover in a male strip club to catch a killer. Don’t sit in the front row if you don’t want to be part of the show!

Reinemer plays a slew of characters in this very silly and hugely enjoyable show. A couple of audience members were pulled up onto the stage to become part of the action. They both loved it. One of the audience members played the main character’s shrink. He even got a kiss for his efforts.


Reinemer can improvise with the best of them, throwing out droll one liners in response to the audience. He also shows acres of flesh (but no bare butts or full frontal). He sure looks good in bikini underwear and his comic timing is superb. The audience couldn’t stop clapping throughout the show.

There were lots of eager men and women sitting down front perhaps hoping for more flesh than there actually was on display. I came out feeling wonderful: I laughed a lot, loved the main actor and sort of floated home on a cloud of feel-good bliss.

DK came all the way up from Oregon for this gig. Get your sweaty butt down to the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse to see him, even if you’re a straight man. You’ll be happy that you did!
