Erotic Intelligence for Dummies

This hilarious, relatable show is naughty, nice and guaranteed to turn your head…

Wilde Applause and Pretend Productions are proud to co-present Erotic ‘Intelligence for Dummies’, performed by Helen Cassidy and written by Helen Cassidy and Daniel Evans.

Contemporary relationships are in a state of rapid flux, with many of us confessing to feeling a little disenchanted with the monogamy-based dogma we’ve been fed by society, religion and the media.

Award-winning actress and clown, Helen Cassidy, uses her solo comedy show Erotic Intelligence for Dummies to take a long, hard, cross-eyed look at the complexities of intimate relationships. Exploring how we can get better at them, the myriad styles of multi-love and our true animal nature- all while maintaining the mystery!

Blending philosophy, dress-ups, song, puppetry and balloons into a scandalously layered trifle of love, lust and learning, Cassidy will create ‘the biggest group “love- in” since John and Yoko’s back in the ’70s.’ (Cream Magazine)

Whether you’re a swinging, polyamorous, unicorn (that’s a single who dates couples) or a celibate, sublimating, ascetic (someone who doesn’t do sex) or just plain old married; you’re all invited to a hilarious, ridiculous and honest evening with Helen.
