"Feeling monogamish?" Come under the covers and deep into the jungle of love with this sell-out show!

Feeling monogamish? 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 comedy/cabaret show 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.

From a revealing ‘bed-time’ story of her early erotic awakenings, Helen delves head first into the jungle to explore our animal nature. She hosts a hilarious dating game, gets married, disenchanted and tries polyamory, gives birth and ultimately transforms the entire crowd into a giant loved up sing-a-long.

Blending story telling, dress-ups, song, puppetry, plushies and balloons into a scandalously layered trifle of love, lust and learning Helen creates the ultimate bonding session and ‘the biggest group “love-in” since John and Yoko’s back in the ’70s.’ (Cream Magazine)

This production is a jam-packed, silly, sexy, surprising journey and moves at a pace. Always 'naughty but nice' (Stage Whispers), Erotic Intelligence for Dummies is ultimately life and love-affirming.

  • Audience's emerge from the show transformed: a little liberated, smiling and more inter-connected.
