Sex With Animals
  • London Fringe

Sex With Animals sold out its entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2013 and now premieres in London at The Hope Theatre, Islington from 28th May - 21st June 2014 following an award-winning run at Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Performed and created by Ryan Good, a long term member of the Edinburgh Fringe First-winning

Neo-Futurists (and now one of the most highly regarded experimental theatre companies in America) this is touchingly performed personal exploration of sexuality and sexual practice.

In an expedition through the often hilarious, occasionally profound sexual habits of the animal kingdom, Ryan Good (AKA Ryan the Bisexual Lion) has surveyed the sexual habits of the animal world alongside his own unconventional sexuality. Ryan spent over a year researching in the Peruvian rainforest, the Galapagos and the wilds of San Francisco. From gay penguins to failed first gay sex, monogamous albatrosses to polyamorous coffee mornings, and boobies (the rare blue footed Ecuadorian bird) to boobies (the human sort) Ryan discovers that the animal kingdom's sexual proclivities are as diverse and perverse as our own.

In a world where gender, sexuality and dating is becoming more fluid, this liberating show posits an audacious and unbounded alternative to the moral and social barriers we've erected between ourselves.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
