John Leo and Sophie Nimmannit met at the Boulder Fringe Festival some years ago, the story goes, and it was kismet — on both personal and professional planes. The bicoastal couple threw their fates together and created their own baby: the fringey comedy Peg-ass-us, which has been their bread-and-butter ever since.

The title pretty much gives away what it’s all about, at least in certain arcane circles: In Peg-ass-us, Leo and Nimmannit, together known as Pack of Others, use physical — very physical — humor, puppets and funny songs to discuss the practice of “pegging,” which you can Google, in comedic terms.
They’re returning to the Boulder Fringe this year to present the piece in triumph, but Denverites can get a sneak peek without driving the turnpike, tonight through Saturday at Work|Space in the Laundry on Lawrence.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Catch Peg-ass-us at 8 p.m. nightly; special guests at the post-play talkback include pansexuality “expert” Kitten Karlyle on Friday and queer kink Shana Katz on Saturday. For tickets, $12, visit the Pack of Others Eventbrite page.
