From the twisted mind of Freud the Musical and Lesbian Pirates! comes Clown Sex.
Long-time dweller of the London sewer system, Gary Strange has discovered a unique way to become intimate with his high-rise neighbours: listening to their innermost secrets through plug holes, drainpipes and washing machine fittings. They all have one thing in common – they are desperate for connection. Join Gary amongst the fatbergs and flushed pets as he basks in the joy of filth, encountering stories of bad sex, sad sex and even clown sex.
The show is a boundary-blurring rollercoaster of theatre, comedy and performance art, bouncing from hilarity to tragedy and back again.
This highly physical triptych gives an unflinching account of the psychologically damaging ways we define ourselves through sex. It shines a light on human fragility, illuminating the joys and sorrows of giving in to our most secret desires.

Back from his filthy adventures in Clown Sex, long-time dweller of the London sewer system Gary Strange delights in overhearing the secrets of his high-rise neighbours through plugholes, drainpipes and washing machine fittings.
We meet Ian Bartender, a man on a mission to understand menstruation; Augusta, an intrepid journalist who receives cat cunnilingus in South Africa; and a fatberg flusher who discovers a gigantic sexual deity deep down underground. All lead very separate lives but are united by their desperation for connection at any cost.
WARNING: Watching this show may cause a love rash. Bring ointment.
