Internet sensation and dancing philosopher/comedian, Toni Nagy, is coming to the Caveat in NYC 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.
"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, Portland, and the Cannonball Fringe Festival in Philadelphia.
Opening the show is a special treat featuring Seraphina Supernova - a classically trained ballerina turned psychic show pony casting spells to stir and awaken all faces of the feral, undiluted, divine feminine within, without, above and below. After returning from the Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland performing as Toni Nagy’s Co-Star in “Grape Culture,” she is opening for “Men, Come Inside of Me” with the first act of her new solo show, “The D Spot.” In The D Spot Seraphina explores the impact of internalizing the male gaze and suppressing feminine pleasure and rage at every age. She takes us on a “tour de d” through her middle and high school diaries and inner and outer dialogue (think notes passed in class) with boys she shaped herself for. Seraphina calls all of our awkward selves and attachment styles into the room and puts them under a sacred spotlight so that we can heal our inner highschoolers in our collective heart.
