Have you ever been riding a homosapien and asked (internally) 'omg am I squashing this person like a double decker bus?'? Or stumbled mentally upon, 'please lord, let me have shaved my nipples'? (free the hairy nips.) That right there is sex anxiety, but not the kind where you can’t get interested in sex- just the kind where you’re afraid they’ll be offended by the smell of your fanny. Join Ellie as she navigates a class of 30 adolescents asking her anything about sex; and what happens when they go home?
Fresh from a northern tour and the Edinburgh Fringe, Does My Fanny Look Big in This? still tackles sex education, validates sexual anxiety, deals with sexual trauma while answering questions you’ve always been a little too embarrassed to ask and is now extended and with live (and hilarious) Q&A. Let’s explore the sexual world through spoken word, uncomfortable noises, an inflatable sex doll, (bad) singing, anxiety and a limerick.
Fanny was written in collaboration with Sheffield Theatres Bank Cohort 2023 and with dramaturgical support from Grace Gummer (Sheffield Theatres, Royal Court.) It began its journey headlining a SOLD OUT sex event at the Leeds Poetry Festival before:
