The Student Becomes the Mistress is a free comedy show featuring Carly Blair and Sally Porter, a former dominatrix turned comedian. At a time when norms around sex and relationships are changing rapidly, Carly finds herself lost — but fortunately has Sally's wisdom and experience to draw on. The show covers topics including dating, sex and some things that are very much best avoided in the bedroom. At the end, audiences get the chance to ask the two performers for advice that is described as possibly wise, possibly dubious. The show runs 60 minutes and is for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A free show that pairs a comedy newcomer with a former dominatrix turned comedian — the dynamic alone promises entertainment. The audience Q&A at the end keeps things unpredictable, and the frank subject matter is handled with good humour.
