The SexLiesImprov Podcast episodes:

June 26, 2023 I used to be married
In our season finale, we share our show from Ludlow Fringe. How do you tell your new boyfriend that your ex husband is a nasty piece of work? What's the difference between a James Dean poster and a Rebel without a Cause poster? Afterwards, we talk about violence in improv scenes, starting a show with radically different expectations and how different couples define infidelity. Plus, some big news about the future of the show!

June 12, 2023 I hate my partner's friends so much that I wear a buttplug every time I'm around them — featuring Hugh Clark!
One of our most brazenly sexual confessions ever leads to a show about spreadsheets for sex toys, misogyny in masculine friendships and your dentist taking you to Alton Towers. After the show, we welcome Hugh Clark onto the show to share his thoughts on what happened from an improviser's perspective. We discuss the discrepancy between how we feel and what the audience sees, dramatic game of the scene and how much choice we get about the kind of story we tell.

May 29, 2023 I had another family
In this twisted show, we feel beige about strip clubs and discuss whether 'peasant food' is a compliment. Afterwards, we talk about how this show trod closer to the line of uncertainty than we would usually go, plus how behaviour that would be reasonable in the real world makes characters into arseholes.

May 01, 2023 I said I was a virgin
In this sexy show, we ask some difficult questions like: "does everyone deserve forgiveness?" and "who's trendier, Alex or Jesus?"

After the show, stick around to find out how suspension of disbelief works on multiple levels, as well as an extended metaphor about how improv is like scuba diving!

April 17, 2023 I wet the bed and convinced my partner it was their fault
Did you enjoy our previous show about piss, but wished it had more piss in it? Well you're in luck! This show has it all: bedwetting, nappies, fingers in bums and a brief confusion about the difference between Rocky and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Afterwards, we talk about how cringe comedy gives you permission to be dark and how to handle complex technical questions your characters ought to know the answers to when you (the improviser) have no clue.

April 03, 2023 I had sex with someone else
Whatever you're imagining, you are not prepared for this episode, which goes all the way from an argument about sausages to having sex in a cupboard under very inappropriate circumstances. After the show, we talk about how switching up the start of the show radically changes the way it unfolds, as well as the wondrous and scary feeling of being blindsided onstage.

March 20, 2023 I want to sleep with my friend
What happens when the one that got away becomes the one that you can't get away from? Plus, is anything sexier than champagne on a yacht? Afterwards, we discuss The OC and the secret superpower that is "plot in retrospect".

March 07, 2023 We BOTH lied about our age
This episode, in true improv spirit, we try something we've never done before on a whim: what if both of us are lying? Tune in to find out! After the show, we discuss the real age gap between us and how it affects our performance.

February 20, 2023 I didn't wet myself, I squirted!
Even for a show with the word 'sex' in the title, this is one of our most explicit performances of all time. In the show, in addition to the obvious, can spreadsheets improve your sex life, and what exactly is the best lighting setup to film a porn video? Afterwards, we talk about how big dramatic revelations can become an opportunity for comedic callbacks, plus the value of hyper-specific suggestions.

February 06, 2023 I pretend I'm out for drinks when really I'm playing poker
Why do we lie to the people we love? Each episode, performers Alex Keen and Rachel E. Thorn share an unedited recording of their award-winning black comedy based on a real lie told or secret kept in a relationship, then peek behind the curtain in a candid discussion about the choices that created each performance.

This episode, how big can a Christmas bonus be before it looks like money laundering? Afterwards, we talk about how numbers can disrupt your scenes!
