Mick Ferry in The Missing Chippendale (Body Issues)
Star of Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, and self proclaimed fat man, Mick Ferry is back in Edinburgh with his eagerly awaited second solo show. Last year Mick performed at the fringe for a month at the same time as and in the next room to The Chippendales. Screaming women and oiled up men ruined his life for that month and he vowed to get his revenge. He had never felt jealousy or hatred like it. No one threw their knickers at him, no one tried to break into his dressing room and he didn’t require security to leave the building! Over the course of the last year Mick has spent his time interviewing male strippers and female attendees of these shows to find out what really makes them all tick and why they do it. Along the way he discovers some quite surprising things about himself and The Chippendales. When forced to examine his disdain for strippers and audiences alike he manages to disprove his own misogyny ending up with a begrudging respect for the blokes he initially set out to destroy. Could he actually do a complete 180 and take part in a strip show and actually enjoy it?
