Description
At one time, London was the sex capital of the world. This is a no-holds-barred historic but hilarious journey through the bawdy true stories of 18th century London!
Sex, Scandal, and Sodomy is a new concept in historical performance bringing the seedy, sexy streets of London’s West End to life. Join our unique band of troubadours – the self-proclaimed ‘Sexateers’ and learn of the city’s darker past. Tales of the wealthiest ‘pimp’ in Covent Garden and his secret list, and the author & thief-taker, Henry Fielding who fought against the sea of smut. The salacious goings-on of the rich and famous will all be brought vividly to life. We will take you on a roller-coaster of a journey through historical muck! So, hold on to your breeches and powder your wig.
We bring you the most salacious stories of the era on a brand new and utterly unique adventure - with all the necessary libations included whetting your appetites on the way.
You will learn tales of madames, pimps, esteemed figures, bawdy houses, masquerade balls, gin alley, and opium dens. From streetwalkers offering a ‘thrupenny upright’ to high-class courtesans servicing the aristocracy, London was built on the sex trade, and everyone indulged; as then you will with a glut of gin and an 18th-century seduction lesson in a secret drinking den! A happy ending is guaranteed.
“The experience culminates in a special Victorian Gin Punch at the wine bar and speakeasy Grays & Feather in Covent Garden, and a quick lesson in flirtation using fans and face masks!
