The show’s founder, Natalie Wall, found in her college years that women were reluctant to talk realistically about sex and how awkward the whole proposition can be. “We’re at our most vulnerable with people, and weird things happen and, like, why is this not being talked about?” she says. “It’s hilarious.” A year and a half ago, Wall tapped a group of fellow comedians and organized a show at People’s Improv Theater in New York City that featured them telling stories about true-life sexual experiences. That resulted in regular shows and tours with the frequently graphic, sometimes sweet “Awkward Sex and the City.” As the title suggests, the content is intimate and cringe-worthy. But the women of “Awkward” wear their awkwardness with pride.
NYC’s funniest storytellers and comedians relive their most awkward sexual experiences for your viewing pleasure. Performers also include: Bobby Hankinson, Carly Ann Filbin, Meghan O’Malley and Jamie Leelo.
