It’s been about 4 years since my (smart, funny, AND talented) friend Cherry Zonkowski has been on stage performing her one-woman show brilliantly titled Reading My Dad’s Porn and French Kissing the Dog. It’s described as “one woman’s journey through the sex parties and Burning man community of San Francisco: dental dams, slings, marzipan pigs, tequila, orgasms and spanking machines” and it’s all of that and more. [I saw it during its initial run and really enjoyed it!]
If you missed it back then, you have just one chance to redeem yourself. She is reviving her show for just one night only on Monday, August 18, 2014 at Stage Werx Theater in San Francisco, California. Lucky you!
Tickets are available now for just $15.
“Reading My Dad’s Porn And French Kissing The Dog” is the story of how a freak gets to be freaky, of how ‘Velma’ becomes ‘Cherry,’ of what English teachers can do on their night out. And between such adventures, Zonkowski reconstructs the evolution of an outsider, reflecting back on her childhood, of growing up in Texas, of her military dad (he’s a drunk) and of their family’s jarring move to Norway (she was once featured in the Norwegian porn magazine Cupido.) Eventually, she made her way out to California for college and never left, going on to grad school, marrying, divorcing, and supporting herself teaching freshman comp, in which she experiences the unique hell of grading papers.
