Brodi Snook’s Villain addressed the fact that she lacks assertiveness in her life. This extended to apologising to inanimate objects. Hence, when it comes to human interactions, submissiveness has led to difficulties in getting what she wants, such as dealing with a too attractive doctor who gave bizarre medical advice that Snook didn’t have the confidence to dispute. This situation manifested itself at night in graphic dreams, which Snook gleefully read out to a shocked audience.
The solution was to embrace her villain era and become more assertive. The journey to achieve this was both hilarious and disturbing in equal measure. Snook’s knack for storytelling, combined with a deadpan delivery worked perfectly for this material. The show moved adeptly from pop culture references to female medical issues and long-distance relationships.
