Who’s Holding the Remote? (2001)

“Who’s Holding the Remote?” 2001, was Tomboys in Fishnets’ groundbreaking inaugural show. Their lowest brow show to date, “Remote” spoofed the world of Television. It received so much anger from the press that it drove Tomboys creator into a drunken tailspin that left her at 4am on her bathroom floor sobbing  “Why do they hate me so much?”

In spite of the reviewers disdain for the production. “Remote” ran for 5 months to numerous sold audiences.

“They’re getting away with the kind of humor for which an all-male troupe could be picketed, if not sued.” -Backstage West, 2001

“the material tends to be crude and sexually obsessed …this is a show strictly for the undiscriminating.” -L.A. Weekly 2001
