Neptune Henriksen: With Legs Wide Open

This show is part of the 15% off Bendigo Comedy Festival Deal when buying two shows or more.
 

Sex. Let’s talk about it. The challenges, the beauty, and the healing possibilities. Be guided through the topic by critically-acclaimed comedian, experienced sex worker, renowned slut, and most importantly, pedantic freak: Neptune Henriksen. 

In this deeply dark comedy, Neptune explores curing their CPTSD^ with medicinal cannabis and sex, when talk therapy, various diagnoses, and a 72-hour-hold weren't enough. Part TEDTalk, part comedy, all hot and steamy - but that's mostly the stage lights. 

‘With Legs Wide Open’ will dive elbow-deep into sexuality, communication, and healing, but don’t worry – Neptune’s a professional, they’ll talk you through the whole thing, nice and gentle. 

Praise for Neptune's previous works includes: 

"The connection to the work is emotional and real even if you haven’t had a similar experience." - Australian Pride Network, 2024 

"Cathartic, evocative and profound" - BingeFringe, 2024 

“A perfectly pitched hour” ★★★★★ - The Scotsman (UK), 2016
