August 9, 2010 – After a successful run at the Hollywood Fringe, My Penis – in and out of Trouble, Antonio Sacre’s 55-minute solo performance directed by Paul Stein, was chosen as one of Theater Asylum’s Best of the Fringe. It also won a Best in Fringe award for Solo performance at the New York International Fringe Theater Festival.

My Penis – in and out of Trouble explores sex and sexuality in humorous and unexpected ways. Brutally funny and explosive, it has sold out at all Fringe festivals where presented and garnered rave critical response. “A personal quiet reflection of a young man and his manhood…storytellers this good are hard to come by,” –Backstage NY. “Remarkable….[Sacre is] a serious artist,” –Village Voice. “Gripping and unsettling,” –The Chicago Reader. “An articulate… frank and funny … heartfelt and honest… romp through milestones in his penis’ personal history.” – LA Theatre Review

Impeccably told and controversial, his sexual stories remain part of a nationwide discussion started by Bill O’Reilly, who calls Sacre a sexual extremist, while Dennis Miller wants to punch him in the nose. Surprising in his manner, Sacre is self-effacing, with his humor coming from his bedrock honesty about situations each person has faced. Join him on a journey that is raw in his willingness to revisit each painful and wonderful moment. “He is not a character actor nor a comedian but someone with a perpetual story and an extraordinary talent for engaging an audience. Therefore, he is frankly funny, uncompromisingly believable, and above all – kind.” –Backstage

A two-time Best In Fringe Festival winner at the New York International Fringe Festival and an internationally touring award winning solo performance artist based in Los Angeles, Sacre has created seven solo performance pieces, performing them to critical and popular acclaim nationwide

Backstage says Sacre is “powerful, hilariously honest . . . the man is an out and out genius.” His shows have garnered numerous Critics’ Choices in San Francisco, LA, New York, and Chicago. Come and be molested.
