Thur. May 7 and 14. The Penis Diatribes. After being censored by TBPAC, Ruth Eckerd Hall, and several other local theaters, “The Penis Diatribes: it’s harder than you think being a dick,” hits the stage two Thursdays in a row at the Coconut Comedy Club. Michael Matteo conceived the work after reading the acclaimed “Vagina Monologues” and wondering why a similar play hadn’t been written from the male perspective. “The Penis Diatries” follows a man on New Year’s Eve as he reflects on his many failed relationships and realizes that all of his shortcomings are tied to his penis. Entering into a dialogue with his member, he discovers that it dominates his entire life. This comedy begs the question, “how much say does a penis have in a man’s decision-making process?” 8 p.m., Coconuts Comedy Club, 9331 Adamo Dr., Tampa., $10, diatribeproductions.com.
