Sex Idiot
2010-2011
(again in 2025)

Following her first STI test, Bryony discovered she had a common sexual disease. Not one for looking back, she was faced with the arduous task of retracing her sexual footsteps to see where she'd contracted her little problem.

Join Bryony on a whirlwind tour of her sexual misadventures and self-realisations, told through vignettes of performance, dance and song lovingly gaffer-taped to some rough chat. It may or may not include the audiences pubic hair.

Nestled somewhere between homemade pop song, ornithological nature trail and an ode to love lost, Sex Idiot is a glittering, unabashed cabaret of confession with a wonky DIY feel. This is a show for anyone who's ever had a one-night stand and genuinely enjoyed it, broken hearts in search of true love and ultimately realised that no (wo)man is an island.
