M.A.T.E.

I saw a comedy tonight, M.A.T.E, which is about animal mating strategies.

It starts off with 4 scientists lecturing the audience on the topic. They have their own relationship tensions, which play out during the show.

But the scientists also become the animals they are talking about, acting out the mating strategies in a sort of cartoon form. Chris Delgado, Danielle Gennaoui, Keland Scher, and Deanna Myers were very energetic and amusing.

The show is set in a bar, and made good use of the setting. One scene involved 2 "lizards" meeting on a blind date. The girl lizard was reading a romance novel and holding a flower while sitting at the bar.

Bacteria can reproduce
in solitary splendor.

But human beings must work to seduce
someone from the contrary gender.
