Worst Laid Plans premiered at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles in July 2007. It was conceived by Laura Kindred and Alexandra Lydon following a particularly noteworthy coital catastrophe on foreign soil. For the full story, please skip ahead to "The Farting Rapist." The next morning, while regrouping and attempting to regain lost dignity, these two friends discovered bad sex's greatest palliative: disclosure.
After sharing this hard-won revelation, they gathered a dream team of performers to create the stage show Worst Laid Plans: True Stories of Terrible Sex. And like a venereal disease, the word spread, creating a surge of graphic co-misery. The show continues to run at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles and New York City, and has welcomed such celebrity comediennes as Janeane Garofalo, Amy Poehler, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Laraine Newman, and many more.
Having enjoyed such success in the oral tradition, it has come time for these sexual tragedies to be immortalized in print.
