If you missed Fruit Salad’s recent run of dates held between the 40 Watt and Moonlight Theater back in October, here’s a special chance to catch it for free, as the crew films the performance as a live special for the Beijing Comedy Festival.

Despite its childlike silliness and scenes about watermelons, pineapples, Spanish guitars and superheroes that sound innocent enough, the show is best viewed by adult eyes.
