Addison Heimann’s gloriously gooey horror/science fiction/comedy Touch Me won’t be for everyone but for those who tune in to the freaky, goofy, and sincere frequencies there’s a specific genius running through the work that’s nigh unto irresistible. Touch Me is dark comedy meets tentacle sex meets facing up to the damage of the past by overcoming the absurdity of the present. Touch Me is a comedy first but it isn’t shy about bringing up some serious topics including sexual abuse, and while they might rub uncomfortably against the humour the truth that people who have been through trauma can have such difficulty processing it that they make excuses for their unhealthy coping strategies.
