A Detailed Look At “The Family Sex Show”

Yes, that podcast clip is VILE. Perverts.

Well indeed.

I don't even want to see Mr Tumble's spotty bag tbh.

Good god:

‘The UK’s favourite theatre for children, young people and their families...’

I don’t know. That makes me think I’m going to see Mr Tumble’s spotty bag. Not all of Mr Tumble.

'The Egg' theatre have protected their tweets.

DBS checks wouldn’t help. Before you get your dick out in front of kids you might not be a sex offender. The issue (I assume) might have been that the proposed performers worked out that they might be sex offenders afterwards?

Waffle and bullshit, innit. Words don't mean anything anymore...

Part of me wonders the theatres went quiet as they realised no enhanced DBS had been carried out on the ‘actors’. And that they’re cancelling now they’ve realised the checks won’t be completed on time.

"The decision has been taken to cancel the national tour of ThisEgg’s The Family Sex Show. The Family Sex Show is a theatre show which opens up conversations around relationships offering safe and positive learning to children, young people and guardians about bodies and relationships, advised by safeguarding and educational specialists. Information regarding the content of the show was made available to bookers coming to see the production.

In recent days there has been unacceptable threat and abuse directed at both the company and the venues hosting the production by a small minority, and in order to ensure the safety of the performers, staff and audiences, the show will no longer play as planned at the current time."

Information regarding the content of the show was made available to bookers coming to see the production.

So the show was finished, and people booking the show for the theatres saw it before agreeing to book it? (In which case their website was not accurate when it said the show wasn't finished yet which is why they couldn't say exactly what was in it).
Or is that not how it works? Was 'information regarding the content' the same bare-bones stuff that was on the website?

Was there information made available from the bookers that was kept out of public view (either by accident or on purpose)?

The whole thing is just weird. You'd think if they wanted to sneak this all in under the radar it might be more... under the radar?

I used to like the band Bare Naked Ladies, I never tried to Google them.
So far as I am aware the theatre company did not engage with any of the concerns expressed. I wonder if a safeguarding expert actually had a look at what they were proposing and kibosh it. All this DARVO stuff seems like facesaving.

not one mention anywhere of, you know, men or women. How fucking tediously right on is that? Wankers.

‘I'm actually very liberal in teaching my children about bodies and sex; it has to be done respectfully without an agenda for the people doing the teaching...’

Same. I’m trying to educate my kids and keep them safe, not mould them in the image of members of the radical society I would like to engender.

I tried googling various plausible phrases and that counts among the most inadvertently unnerving yet educational experiences of my life. I must admit though that I completely agreed with one site on the value of pistol grip 21V cordless drills although we had very different uses in mind.

Yep. So giggle. Much naughty.

All the arch, knowing jokes are also inappropriate.

I'm actually very liberal in teaching my children about bodies and sex; it has to be done respectfully without an agenda for the people doing the teaching - not to amuse the teacher or make them feel superior or all knowing or clever.

Yes, we all know what is suggested by “sex show”, don’t we?

Idk if anyone googled the title of the show but even that was problematic tbh - Google threw up some dodgy looking results, any young person googling would have seen the same.

I mean, there’s every possibility the cast, having stripped off in front of some big, unsuspecting bloke’s 5 year old (the tickets having been purchased in a hurry) would have been at risk, but IMO that’s a calculation you make when someone suggests you get your todger out around children.

My sympathy is limited.

Absolutely. If they were confident their show stood up to the criticism regarding safeguarding and appropriate content they wouldn't have pulled it. The idea that they have pulled it because they are concerned for the safety of their cast is laughable.

Glad to hear someone somewhere has decided that there are good reasons not to show this dumb show, anyway.

Intervenes, sorry.

If you are conflicted about children watching naked adults talking about adults having sex, then it’s fair to say you don’t know enough about safeguarding.

Censorship of what children can watch is not ‘bad’. Censorship is when the government intervened in what can be produced, shown or sold. Sometimes that’s justifiable, but most liberal people (I am one) would say adults can watch a sex show if they want.

Kids can’t. No conflict here at all.
