Neptune Henriksen – With Legs Wide Open
If the body keeps the score, maybe sex can set us free. Be guided through the healing possibilities of sex by critically-acclaimed comedian, experienced sex worker, renowned slut, and most importantly, pedantic freak: Neptune Henriksen.
In this deeply dark stripped-down comedy (all puns intended), Neptune explores treating their Developmental Trauma with medicinal cannabis and sex; when years of talk therapy, various diagnoses, and a 72-hour-hold weren’t enough. Part TEDTalk, part comedy, all cut-to-the-bone-honest.
But don’t worry – Neptune’s a professional, they’ll talk you through the whole thing, nice and gentle.
