What is the Sex & Nature Salon?
Academia meets queer comedy cabaret in a hilarious whirlwind of fascinating talks, stand-up, drag, and games with the audience. From co-creating a gay penguin nightclub to pitting Senator Bernie Sanders against a pair of musical theatre queer frogs, the Salon brings a juicy subject to life in an irreverent, improvised comedy experience.
Created by comedian Siân Docksey and researcher Dr Ina Linge during their Creative Fellowship with Arts & Culture University of Exeter, the Sex & Nature Salon is an interactive, playful space for sharing ideas, building community, and having fun.
