Sex, religion, and politics collide as six Pakistani-American Muslim females air

their dirty lingerie…


WHAT OTHER'S SAY... 

Cross-cultural sparks fly and preconceptions about Muslim women, sex, and politics are hilariously shattered in the show The Wall Street Journal says “breaks down stereotypes of Muslim women in America” and that reviewers call a “must-see” production. 

Playing to sold-out houses in NYC and Toronto, DIRTY PAKI LINGERIE transcends boundaries of culture, religion, and gender, moving and entertaining audiences with its unique – and universal – appeal. A rich, sexy, and infectiously entertaining mosaic of the sublime, the comic, the poetic, and the political.
