HOW FREE IS YOUR LOVE?
You're about to find out... Every. Single. One of you.
Beware. Red Bastard is back! The dangerous, seductive comedy monster returns to New York with a brand new show to expose the lies we tell our lovers and those bastards who made us to lie in the first place.

Those who pay the price may expect games, traps and a very Dirty Pony as the Bastard you thought you knew transforms before your very eyes. It's the truth! Well, most of it...
