The subtitle of this show is A One Woman, Queer Clown Sex-Ed Show. This wild and wacky clown show takes place at Kink BDSM Boutique on Bloor West. There are, maybe, 25 chairs set up in the small space. Before the show, we were asked to write down our questions about sex.
Fiona Ross plays our sex education teacher, Ms. Beatrice Haven, in this delightful piece. She shows us what a penis is, what a vagina is, how to use a condom, how to make a dental dam, how to have straight sex and how to have lesbian sex. Ross is hilarious as she slyly but discretely demonstrates all of these things. She even pulls out a box of sex toys and shows us how to use each one. Then she reads some of our questions and answers them with wit and panache. It’s all very tongue in cheek and silly with lots of hearty laughs. Some audience participation is required but it’s all done in a spirit of fun. Ross will ask for your consent. “Consent” is an important word for her.
This production is rude, funny, explicit but never offensive. Ross’s clown persona is authoritative, cheeky, endearing and tons of fun. The audience loved her. You will, too. Doug Ford could learn a thing or two from her. Director Julie Cohn always keeps the show moving at a frantic pace. Ross is likely to sell out her cross-Canada Fringe tour. Show early or book in advance to get a seat.
