No f*cks given. None taken. All done.
“No fucks given. None taken. All done.” (1) A life mantra. (2) A way of cutting through the BS of toxic positivity and social norms too many of us hide behind. (3) A show with this title as part of the 2024 New York City Fringe.
The show format: Through a series of lessons taught by a professional curmudgeon with high expectations, students will be challenged on their unspoken assumptions about condoning and perpetuating harmful social norms. In this one-hour class, they will reckon with their complicity in humanity's current demise. Examples of learning outcomes include: how math can prove anything, preservatives are better than Botox, and being right over happy is so choice.
