Fresh off his critically acclaimed 2022 Edinburgh Fringe show, Spanking the Monkey: The Etymology of Onanistic Euphemisms (**** (Scotsman)), Professor Richard Fondler returns to the hallowed halls of the Fringe to deliver his lecture on the origins of euphemisms for making love around the world. Whether you're shagging in the UK, doing somersaults in France, kicking up the dust in Spain, or boom-booming in Thailand, you will enjoy Professor Fondler's survey of international slang words for making the beast with two backs.

Michael Blaha is so wonderful in delivering this lecture, it took my wig off. He is such a lovely, bumbling professor orating a non-stop oration on sexual slang that will keep you giggling throughout the presentation. Treat yourself to this show. So much fun!
