Synopsis

“When bad sex happens to good people, there is no recourse like full disclosure,” is the motto of Worst Laid Plans, a comedy show staged at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, the highly influential comedy organization co-founded by Amy Poehler. True stories of terrible sex imparted by the brave survivors who lived to tell, Worst Laid Plans is part Vagina Monologues, part car crash, and wholly hilarious. From "Trapped in the Closet" to "IncogNEGRO" to "The Farting Rapist," this hour-long epic features recordings from live shows in Los Angeles and New York City, including performances by Laraine Newman (Original cast “SNL”), Mary Lynn Rajksub (“24”), Casey Wilson (“SNL”), and other performers who shamelessly take the mic to reveal all. Created by Alexandra Lydon and Laura Kindred, Worst Laid Plans premiered in 2007 and continues to play to sold out audiences to this day. 
 
Never was humor so dry.

The performers you hear on this audio are not victims, but by and large the architects of their own misfortune. Because of that, a couple have chosen to remain pseudonymous. Others were more brave.
Tymberlee Hill (“IncogNEGRO”), “Suz” (“Trapped in the Closet”), Alexandra Lydon (“The Farting Rapist”), Laura Kindred (“You Bet Your Ass”), Casey Wilson (“Rub a Dub Dub, Thanks for the… Nub?”), Laraine Newman (“Beef Stroganoff”), Mary Lynn Rajskub (“My Fast Boyfriend”),  “Maddow” (“Tunnel to Nowhere”)

Goodreads review by Michelle on October 03, 2011

It started out funny, but then it started to blend together. Maybe because the contributors are so similiar. They're almost all white, educated East/West coast comedians, writers, actors, or some combination thereof. They sort of all start to sound the same. It's a fun way to pass the time, but you'......more

Goodreads review by Greg on July 18, 2010

I picked this up from the "new books" section of the library and giggled like a little girl upon reading the first, random page, which was from a short story called "That Time I Molested A Girl Who Had A Mustache." Winner! Not the deepest book I've ever read but -- eh -- who doesn't need a laugh or......more

Goodreads review by Heather on August 15, 2011

Fun little essay vignettes from a variegated roster of funny people, telling about their worst/grossest/most dramatic/embarrassing/etc. sexual experiences. Sort of like The Moth but in book form. Not exactly Proust, and each story is very short so you don't ever get to the point where you're super e......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on July 10, 2012

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but the most I can say about it is that it was very...uneven. Some of the stories were entertaining, some were mediocre, and some blatant attempts at being salacious. Most weren't shocking; they were just kind of pathetic.......more

When I was recommended this book I was told it was hilarious. Sadly I just found it funny. The stories are funny and make you reflect on your own bad experiences, but I had still hoped to laugh more.......more
