A very funny sex-positive comedy show for people with genitals and a good sense of humour. Mat Wills’ most personal show to date explores family, relationships and losing one’s sense of shame for love. Taboos broken, lessons learned. Fun by, but not for, the entire family!

I was lucky to stumble across Mat's show at the Fringe this year to e honest the title alone pulled me in and I'm glad it did.
He is pretty unique in lots of ways (you'll see why if you go) but the sketch itself is pretty funny.
Original, honest and endearing I was pleased I came across it.

What a brilliant show this is! Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. I promise you will not be disappointed so if you’re reading this, just go see it! Mat may be small but his humour and energy are mighty, and he sure as heck knows how to get the crowd going. Easily the best show we saw on our whole trip

OMG Proper belly laughs !! Really funny and insightful reflection on caring for elderly family members - Tummy ache afterwards - but in a good way! Haven't laughed like that for ages!

What a great show - highly recommend. Whatever preconceptions you have about this show leave them at the door. This is a funny sensitive account of a son’s attempts to connect and make sense of his aging father’s Parkinson’s and loss of independence. This isn’t a show seeking sympathy but about finding the joys of getting old to bring a little happiness to his dad. Yes he’s a little rude in places but then we’re talking about our parents sex life - yes they do still have sex. I laughed out loud and came out smiling. What a great way to spend an hour. We also went on to see Mat MC at 101 comedy later that day. Defiantly will be keeping an eye on this guy.
