Aunty Ginger: Finding Splashman” is a hilariously outrageous romp that takes audiences on a wild ride through the raunchy and ridiculous. Based on a true story, this show follows the irrepressible Aunty Ginger on her mission to find her elusive Splashman, blending filthy stand-up comedy with killer heels and an unforgettable stage presence.

From the moment Aunty Ginger struts onto the stage, she owns the room, dishing out bawdy songs and roasting audience members with razor-sharp quips. Her humour is as rude and crude as it gets, yet it’s delivered with such charm that you can’t help but be drawn into her world.

A “standout feature” of the show is the seminar in advanced glory-hole etiquette—an absurdly funny segment that also showcases Aunty Ginger’s skills as an agony aunt. The show has some cracking show-stopping parody songs but the audience wanted more. You have a decent voice Aunty G and you should play to your strengths.

The flow of the show is a little disjointed in places but has good bones. Whether she’s delivering a searing roast or a side-splitting song, Aunty Ginger’s rude and crude style.is not for the faint of heart, but if you’re up for a night of bawdy, laugh-out-loud entertainment, this is the show for you. Be prepared to be part of her world for no-one is safe!
