SEX IDIOT Created in 2010, Toured
2010-2015
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.
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.
