2008 Edinburgh Fringe Reviews

A Guide to Sexual Misery

The show begins with our host Wolfgang explaining that in his native Vienna there was recently a psychologists conference which found that more and more people were having miserable sex lives. So the premise of this show is how to lower your sexual expectations and have less fun in the sack. The first half of the show has Wolfgang delivering a lecture about why women have such high expectations in a mate and men have no idea what is going on in their relationships. We learn a lot of interesting details about one another in a very anonymous way. Before Wolfgang asks the audience his first question he separates the men and women and all audience responses are in the form of humming so no blame can be attached after the show.

After the lecture has finished we were all given cards to write questions on and Wolfgang went through them and some of the answers were certainly surprising. I won’t give any of the answers out but if there is anything you ever wanted to know about sex or you’re desperately trying to work out how the other half thinks, then this is a very good show to see. If you have a great sex life (lucky sod) and just want a good laugh, then this is definitely the place to come to as there is nothing funnier than sex.
