The award-winning comic multimedia “lecture” is fresh from its off-Broadway run! “Stroke” strikes an unfailingly straight-faced Monty Pythonesque balance between sharply intelligent humanities references, edgy satire of respected institutions, and– most importantly– hundreds of rapid-fire sex jokes. The world’s most eccentric academic is eager to show you his obsessively polished deck (slide “deck” with an “e”).

From the “COURSE DESCRIPTION”:

“Dr. Walter Winkworth-Pérez’s career is devoted to the preservation of a highly specialized performing arts discipline. His extensive research into sexual clowning techniques has made him the foremost expert on conventions that date back to ancient Greece.

“Attendees will learn to appreciate regional styles of Pantomimed Masturbation, complete with historical context. Following last semester's workshop, "All in the Wrist: Vaudeville Jackin’ Practicum," this syllabus provides in-depth analysis of the genius who immortalized theatrical skills on the 1920s silver screen: the legendary Spankin' Shyster.”
