Life Would Be Pretty Dull Without Sex, Raves and MDMA is a dark comedy monologue by Bex Wall, presented with Sarah Asante Gregory at the Stephenson Theatre.

The show takes audiences through love, loss and heartbreak via an imperfect but exhilarating lens. Described as rip-roaring, naughty and funny, it runs for 50 minutes. Contains distressing themes and strong language. Suitable for ages 18 and above.
Why see this show?
A frank, funny account of a woman choosing mess over safety — told with enough wit and self-awareness to make the darkness feel earned. Strong language, honest storytelling, and a performer willing to go there.
