As if Desiree Burch's tight corset and buxom figure aren't enough to grab your attention, her show is all about sex. Not just any sex, but all the sex Burch has ever had. Each of Burch's 52 lovers has been catalogued in a card deck – each has been assigned a card matching her rating of their performance both in her bedroom and her life. Through a series of card games, the story of each lover is revealed. Burch is unapologetic about the level of graphic detail she gives you and before you know it, audience members, some of whom have been twitching nervously, are sharing similar stories.
The sex talk is bawdy, fun and revealing, but just as you start to think you've heard enough, Burch changes track seamlessly and talks about why she lives her life the way she does. These were the real pin-drop moments; it's when she talks about herself and her beliefs that she really shines.
A consummate performer, Burch leaves feeling that you've just glimpsed through a window into her soul…just before she turns the chat back round to sex. You will probably leave remembering Burch for her stories, but you will certainly remember her for her charm.
Show details: 10:30pm at Hill Street Theatre – book tickets HERE.
