If you're reading this, you have a pelvic floor; you'll leave this brisk comedy knowing why it matters.&nbsp;
When an uptight comedian seeks help for some diffuse midsection issues, she learns how little she knows about her body’s most basic functions – in spite of her OB/GYN father! Veltman shares it all in this raw and ridiculous extravaganza featuring unhinged characters, music, videos, and a medically unsanctioned chart.
“As fearless as it is funny” (<a href="https://fringereview.co.uk/review/edinburgh-fringe/2025/psa-pelvic-service-announcement/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FringeReview</a>). Winner, Best Musical Comedy, United Solo Off-Broadway. Official Selection Edinburgh Fringe, San Diego Int'l Fringe, Tucson Fringe, CoHo ClownFest (Portland, Oregon), SF Fringe, BingeFringe at Santa Monica Playhouse, NYC Fringe, and SoloFest at the Whitefire Theatre.Additional performances: 9:15 pm, Friday, May 15 and 7:05 pm, Sunday, May 17
