Created and Performed by Shawn Shafner
Directed by Annie G. Levy

In the words of my favorite children’s book, “Everyone Poops.” However, no one wants to admit it! Shawn Shafner has decided to change that, and has dedicated several productions to entertainingly open up peoples’ minds to the discussion (if not the action).

In a take-off of the TED Talks, this is a FRED Talk, in which a stuffy professor is somehow possessed by The Puru who sends the talk literally down the toilet. Very educational without being preachy, AN INCONVENIENT POOP is fun, if a little too frantic. The split personality isn’t really necessary, as Shafner is amusing enough as himself without trying so hard to be funny.
