“If enough women go to see this show, Mike Dugan
could be the most laid man on the Fringe. He talks relationships and intimacy, sex and cheating and he
does it in sort of a Woody Allen meets Jimmy Stewart
kind of a way, his gentle philosophising really drawing
you in. He is witty, dry and sweetly self deprecating. Whether you want to see a considered intelligent show,
be assured that nice guys do exist, or just get some
ideas for charming a woman into your bed, this show
is well worth staying sober till midnight to enjoy.”

Dugan proves himself a cut above the crowd. There
are truly great lines here, as well as genuinely intelligent
and thought-provoking ideas on men's attitudes towards
sex and relationships. His analysis on every aspect of
the subject, from lap dance clubs to marriage, reveals devastatingly accurate secrets about the male thought process that we'd be happier kept quiet - all punctuated
with spot on jokes. - Steve Bennett - Chortle UK

Mike Dugan tells jokes for the New Man generation. This
is humour for men who care, for men who know women
are oppressed and for whom political correctness is
not a term of abuse. And it works. Having overcome the obvious problem of taking an alpha-male
stance by standing up
on stage and demanding attention for an hour, he has the wit and skill
to make his quite serious
point in a highly amusing manner.
The
great danger in such a technique would be to become overly smug and self-satisfied
that he
has learned how to massage feet and listen to his partners in an age when
strip joint have become" gentlemen's clubs", porn
is
a key-stroke away and drive-by
relationships are the norm, not the province of depraved philanderers.
But
Dugan is self-deprecating enough to bring his audience
with him, without making them feel
guilty or contemptuous. The observation that all heterosexual men's
relationships with women
are a form of foreplay is both well made and
very funny in its telling. - Thom Dibdin
