Bodice Ripper: a love story
Holly M Brinkman

Holly M. Brinkman presents, Bodice Ripper: a love story
Imagine the wild spontaneity of Whose Line Is It Anyway colliding with the steamy pages of Fifty Shades of Grey—that’s Improv Erotica, Holly M. Brinkman’s latest creation, and Orlando Fringe is about to get a whole lot hotter. With years of reading bodice-ripping romances under her (probably undone) belt, Brinkman brings her sex-pertise to the stage, guiding audiences through a sultry, side-splitting adventure filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn desires, and only the steamiest bits of your favourite guilty pleasures.
She’ll be joined every night by a different artist from across the Fringe circuit. Past performers have been Keith Brown, Martin Dockery, The Spontaneous Shakespeare Company, Tara Travis, and Chase Padgett!
Whether it’s date night, girls' night, or a solo fantasy field trip—this show is your new favorite escape. It’s bold, bawdy, and refreshingly real.
"Earnest and endearing, Brinkman tells stories that resonate, bravely demonstrating vulnerability and boldly sharing her empowerment." – Catherine Jan, Mooney on Theatre
4 Stars, Winnipeg Free Press
“As silly as she is sexy”, Orlando Sentinel
She’s making it up so you don’t have to.
So juicy, you’ll want to rip your own bodice off.
Pillow talk got you tongue-tied? Holly’s got you covered.
