Jordan Barr - Dog Why

Jordan Barr’s Dog why interrogates the full scope of human experience and considers one of its most vexing questions right out of the gate: What does it mean to be a girl?

Barr loves being a girl, even when it means lying awake at 3am and pondering the prose of Sylvia Plath. Through discussions of massage, plastic surgery and nicknames for the vagina, Barr uses a comic sans-laden Powerpoint Presentation to support her amusing, if evidentially questionable, findings. 

Don’t worry boys, there’s another section just for you. Barr’s case study of the actor (and racist) Mark Wahlberg makes for an intriguing picture of what it means to be male!

The show then devolves into an unusual in memoriam tribute, featuring people who – according to Barr – are either dead, aren’t dead but should be, or supposedly dead but potentially still alive. If that sounds brutal to you, then consider if there’s any other context where you’d rather see the face of Harvey Weinstein. The crowd certainly didn’t let a thing like that bother them, lapping up Barr’s solid hour of multimedia comedy.
