Emmy Award winning Tonight Show Comedian Mike Dugan’s “Men Fake Foreplay” is a hilarious exploration of the trials and errors encountered on the road to becoming a man in a ‘boys-will-be-boys’ world. What begins as a naive attempt to “figure out women” quickly shifts into a humorous and insightful tour of the male psyche, the cultural influences that shape a man’s character, and the issues that block a man’s ability to achieve romantic love and intimacy.
Based on his book, “Men Fake Foreplay…and Other Lies That Are True”, Dugan’s show takes unflinching comedic aim at men’s experiences with responsibility, trust, feelings, intimacy, commitment, role models, dating , marriage, lying, cheating, divorce, fantasizing, blaming, dancing, and, especially, their relationships with women. Mike’s long career of comedy writing and performing provides a unique and socially conscious take on these topics that has consistently elicited responses describing the show as “hilarious, important, and necessary”. The result is a thoughtful and revealing assessment of the male experience – filled with observational comedy at tis best.
