Art imitates life, after all.
You already knew this, but the internet is a strange and sometimes baffling place, especially when it comes to how people get their rocks off online. But we can't get enough of it, can we? Blogologues is a sketch comedy show from New York that uses scripts completely pulled from the internet and performed verbatim on stage. It's memes come to life!
With topics like bronies (have fun looking that up if you don't know), sugar babies, the wonders of Tinder and a lot more, Blogologues keeps in step with the theme of this show, "Dat A.S.S. (Annual Sex Show)." In this show, you'll hear real Tinder and OkCupid messages from Philly users (gulp?) and even a rap about those dudes who love My Little Pony.
This will be the first time the show comes to Philadelphia after residing in New York for the past three years, where it's had some pretty legit acclaim. The show will go on tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m., at Studio X at Theatre Exile. Get tickets and watch a promo video here.
