Shows in the festival are:

FIRST WEEKEND (Sept. 20-Oct. 2)

“Ze”: queer as fuck (Michelle/Ryan - New Zealand) An autobiographical comedy about sex, gender, and the expanding parade of labels and identities Michelle/Ryan claims on zir way to pride. "Ze" details multiple "coming outs" from one LGBTQI box to the next, in a celebration that exposes the tension between being authentic and belonging.

Real Mature (Shirley Gnome - Canada) You may be thinking it - but this shameless songstress sings it loud and proud with "the voice of an angel dry-humping a cloud." Award-winning, taboo, sexually empowering comedy that is NOT for the faint of heart.

Phone Whore: a one act play with frequent interruptions (Cameryn Moore - Montréal) Truth and taboo collide in this intimate visit with a phone sex operator. Sit back and buckle up.  Best of the Fest - Houston, San Francisco and Victoria Fringe.

In Search Of Cruise Control (James Gangl - Toronto, ON) Long-time virgin turned sex-fiend, James Gangl becomes the poster child for why we need good sexual education when he struggles to give his awkward teenage nephew the sex talk he never asked for and will never forget.

SECOND WEEKEND (Oct. 6-8)
How I Learned to Hug* (Jon Bennet- Australia) Creator of Pretending Things are a Cock Jon Bennett (Australia) brings you How I Learned to Hug, A story of adolescent love, adult love, adolescent sex, adult sex, masturbation, experimentation, loss, personal growth and hugs.  **Best Comedy Award Nominee (Perth Fringe World, 2015) **Just for Laughs Award nomination for Best Comedy (Montreal Fringe, 2014)

Tales of A Sexual Tomboy (Joyful Raven - Oakland, CA) A raucous one-woman comedy about a horny tomboy, equipped with bad boundaries from her hippie upbringing, looking for empowerment in all the wrong places.

Cosmic Fucks (Kelly Nesbit - Portland, OR) A personal story of a spiritual awakening and cosmic sexology, a journey through time, from the womb, to mid-life revelation.  Dr. Talulah has come to awakening global vaginal consciousness.   Hilarious, poignant, and totally original.

GGG: Dominatrix for Dummies (Eleanor O’Brien - Portland, OR) From the agony of junior high dances to the inner sanctum of a professional dungeon, enemas to ecstatic dance, GGG: D4D explores what it means to fall in love with yourself, and how everyone wants to be wanted.
