About this show
International hit show demolishing the hilarious chaos of straight sex lives. Vibrant, edgy, totally unapologetic, Turan Ali, 'Utterly fabulous' (TheQR.co.uk), award-winning, five-star rated, BBC Radio 4-featured, queer stand-up, storyteller, poet and ukulele player, shares his raunchily successful gay toolbox, helping straights get the sex lives they dream of. Mixing personal stories, razor-sharp social commentary, stand-up, epic poetry and the campest ukulele songs imaginable. 'Like the best stand-up comedians, this material has been tried, tested and perfected for an audience by Ali. It was a joy to watch' (BroadwayBaby.com).
