Top of PageHow To Pick Up Women

How To Pick Up Women is a one hour, one man show that discloses the secrets of the world's five greatest pick up artists.

Do these five men actually know what they're doing?
Notes:
First performed by Alexander Sparrow. Made up of five character stand up comedy sets. Relies on strong crowd work and improvisation skills.
