Hot Pink Bits – all singing, all dancing and all wrong!

a minute musical revue from NZ’s own globe trotting comedienne Penny
Ashton, (Breakfast TV, Radio NZ National).
Resplendent in a hot pink corset and strung up in fishnets, Ashton
will sing, dance and pontificate on pornography, prostitutes and
Lockwood Smith in a burlesque romp through the knickers of the global
sex trade.
Her Pinkness is back in Godzone after touring the world where she
gathered sparkling reviews for her award-nominated show which trawls
the ins and... outs of the international sex industry.

will tell you all about the lives of the he’s, she’s, and he-she’s
that make a living in the world’s oldest profession.
