Life Would be Pretty Dull Without Sex, Raves and MDMA
Winner of the 2025 Keep It Fringe Edinburgh Award
⭐⭐⭐⭐ A powerhouse performance... the joy of this highly personal show is its life-affirming message. — Broadway Baby
⭐⭐⭐⭐ A raw and riotous solo performance... Bex's candour draws you in, and her energy keeps you there.— Sinners Music
Sex? Yes please. Raves? Absolutely. MDMA? Just a Dabble..
Illegal raves find forty-something Bex high in an abandoned vagina museum.
Set to iconic tracks by dance pioneers Orbital, this award-winning solo show follows Bex, a woman who's spent a lifetime doing what everyone expected. In a twist of fate, she rejects playing it safe and abandons herself to life. Consequences be damned, she embraces a reality that's messy, exhilarating, cruel and wild.
Inspired by true events, this award-winning solo show is a deeply personal yet universal story about grief, friendship, identity and choosing to live life on your own terms.
Wild, outrageous, darkly funny and unexpectedly moving, it's a rollercoaster of emotions. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and by the end, you'll be want to join Bex on the dancefloor.
