“Her shows are immersive, smart, entertaining, beautifully curated, and they absolutely stay with you after the lights go down.”
Honeysuckle Magazine
“All conversations that could arise from what we just heard could teach you a lot about a friend or a lover, even one you've known for years. And that could make sex a lot better…Sex Ed Is Back.”
Shondaland
“Maybe it’s the vulnerability, the raw honesty and hilarity of the subject matter, or the relief of realizing sex is confusing for all of us – but by the end of the show, Adult Sex Ed really has removed a barrier of awkwardness around sex and created a candid and informative experience.”

What to expect at a show
At each show, I lead the audience in “lessons”that challenge why we think what we think about sex. Then, I ask a panel of the funniest comedians I know to weigh in. It’s part stand-up, part John Oliver-style deep dives, all live and brand new each time.
Past guests include Gianmarco Soresi, Josh Gondelman, Jermaine Fowler, Dulce Sloan, Mara Wilson, Gastor Almonte, Justin Martindale, Jeena Bloom, Jeremiah Watkins, Atsuko Okatsuka, Joanna Hausmann, Dylan Adler, and more.
Behind the Scenes
I grew up in a really open home—my Mom was even a sex ed teacher for a while. In school, I received the opposite messages (we watched Philadelphia to learn that it you have sex, you’ll get AIDS). So this daughter of a sex ed teacher decided that she needed to challenge her own long-held beliefs the best way I know how…in front of a live audience.
On the surface, it might not seem like the history of the merkin is important to know about, especially in these trying times. But what if I told you that pube trends can teach us a lot about class systems? The mythical history of chastity belts can teach us a lot about the spread of misinformation. And the history of sex ed in America totally relates to where we are today.
It’s the perfect time to ask people to challenge their beliefs. Let’s plug the holes in our education together.
