If you missed KISSTHERAPY on the Discovery Channel, now's your chance to pucker up! The show is a mobile and freestanding kissing booth which features Dolly (named after her country and western idol). Through her innocent approach, Dolly offers a whole menu of treats based around the ancient art of kissing.
Experience the uplifting properties of the good luck, sweet and alien smackers, or, for those in need, witness the soothing effect of Dolly's advice for smoochers. If you've never been kissed by butterflies, had your pucker tested or your underwear blessed, you are truly in need of an appointment with the kissing professional.
This is a WALKABOUT act suitable for all ages.

"Kisstherapy is another small but beautiful piece. Featuring Dolly, a "kissing professional" who is considerably more glam than her namesake, La Parton, standing in a booth called the Kisspensary. It takes the form of a simple interaction between Dolly and passersby. The latter are given the opportunity to select from a menu of kisses including the sweet kiss, the good luck kiss, the tattoo kiss or even the Christmas kiss (Dolly has got the mistletoe idea quite wrong, and encourages you to pucker your lips under a missing toe). It is very silly and completely charming and it spreads a little happiness - which is more than you can say about an awful lot of traditional theatre."
