Near Sex For Work - live comedy about adult industry career

From virginal dildo salesman to non-nude porn actor, Daniel Shar gives a voyeuristic look at his wild life as a sex-adjacent worker. Come get sucked into this unbelievable true story of a timid man getting bursts of confidence through his jobs helping other people get off.

Tastefully raunchy with a throbbing heart, Near Sex For Work takes audiences on a roller coaster of climactic twists and blue-balling turns as Shar chronicles his ridiculous resumé with support from the most sensational videos, audio clips, and images he has amassed along the way (and censored for this production). Fans of comedy shows that go deeper will gush for this one’s potential to reduce the shame and stigma around sex and its industry while also highlighting the reality that, underneath humanity’s massive range of sexual preferences, everyone is ultimately just craving connection.

Allen Salkin's review of the show for The Hollywood Reporter said, “I laughed so much I almost had an asthma attack… go see it” and The Comedy Bureau chose Near Sex For Work as one of 2024’s Best Things, calling it “one hell of a comedy gold mine.”

General Admission tickets are $20. If you're feeling generous and/or wanna brag, select the "Good At Sex" tier for $30 tickets. There are also $69 tickets available at the "Spoil Me" tier if you'd like to receive a piece of porn merch after the show and have me sneak a phrase/your name/a fake name of your choosing (within reason) into a future adult scene I'm in and then send you a clip of it once it's released.
