About this show
Our heroine can't come anymore... While orgasms are the inciting incident (and an entertaining one), they're really an invitation into a much larger conversation about mental health, depression, shame and self-worth. This isn't a story about sex (maybe a little), it's a story about healing. Inspired by real life, Homecumming explores the taboos surrounding female sexuality with honesty, humour and tenderness. Her journey is messy, funny, sexy, vulnerable and painfully relatable. Through therapy, self-reflection and a growing desire to reconnect with herself, she begins a transformation – from caterpillar to butterfly – rediscovering her taste for life.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 4 published reviews and 3 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Homecumming is a show for everyone who has ever felt like their sex drive is secretly a tragic heroine. A moving and frank show about how your body doesn’t always know what to do.
3-stars. Homecumming’s protagonist cannot cum. At least, not like she used to. She used to have “Epic” orgasms and now she barely gets anything from clitoral stimulation.
The premise of Homecumming immediately tells audiences what they are in for. The production follows a woman who can no longer reach orgasm, but what initially appears to be a story centred around sexuality quickly…
