The husky vocals of Jamie Alexandra wisp around the double bass player standing in the centre of the room, and this qualified sexologist promises to ignite conversations and cultivate a safe space for positive sexuality. We’re told this will be the education we should have already had.

Framed as cabaret, it’s more of an academic presentation of how our societies have constrained every aspect of our lives, mostly to suit those in charge. This is good stuff, but with the audience’s overwhelmingly positive reactions to some of what she says that elsewhere would be controversial, it’s affirming what we already know: she’s preaching to the converted.

We’re left feeling like we’ve been in a classroom, where this has been just the first lesson. Perhaps that lesson is to leave them wanting more…?
