WORDS LISA PELLEGRINO
WHEN VANESSA LARRY Mitchell got divorced, she didn’t realise she was about to embark on a new phase of life – one filled with wild nights and even wilder stories. And she wants to tell you all about it.
Vanessa’s widely acclaimed comedy Teardrops on My Dildo returns to Darwin for a night of debauchery and fabulous filth. Then to back it up like the trooper she is, she returns the following night with her new show Lube Me Alone.
Teardrops on My Dildo has become a massive success, touring the globe with rave reviews.
“That show is from a period of my life when I was probably at my peak wildness,” she says.
“A lot of the jokes or stories were written when I had just recently split up with my husband, and I was having a party-time. It’s a solid hour of pretty much consistent laughter and I absolutely love it. I share a lot of stories that really should be secrets you take to your grave!”
Vanessa says that her show is relatable and for many, very freeing.
“You know that little part of naughtiness that’s in all of us … it kind of allows that freedom for people. Things they would have never told anyone suddenly come out and they realise that it’s actually okay, it’s not hurting anyone, and people’s judgement can be put to the side,” she says.
“I talk about kids. About drug use. It’s not all about sex – and it’s definitely not all about dildos – but it is about my life.”
Her new show Lube Me Alone picks up where Teardrops left off.
“It’s a little bit edgy and pushing boundaries of filthiness. It reflects a recent period of my life. It has people roaring with laughter. A couple of people wet themselves – I couldn’t have asked for a better response!”
Although Lube Me Alone is the sequel to Teardrops, you don’t have to see the first one to understand the second. So, take a night off or two and check out these performances that’ll have you, quite possibly, wetting yourself with laughter.
