David Crowe: Boundaries - A tale of humiliation and bliss

Even after 27 years of stand-up comedy, I still have a handful of stories Ive been too embarrassed to tell anyone. This is my attempt to turn some humiliation and regret into a powerful force for good. Far from being just another lurid shock humor piece disguised as introspection, Boundaries is couched as my hopes and concerns for my young daughter in a sincere - even desperate - desire to give her a few simple tools to prepare her for her own journey out into the world. It is an autobiographical 90 minutes that is simultaneously endearing, horrifying, cathartic and funny. It involves one Alaskan brown bear, an art teacher, the Soviet Union, an English dancer, an African ostrich, an Arab prince, an arrest, one old lady, India, a fight at Applebees restaurant, and the lingering question, Is your heart healthy enough for sex? Bath Fringe is its Festival world premiere.
