kaberettAs I've mentioned in terms of great squee a few times, I am tentatively heading towards getting involved with Lashings of Ginger Beer Time, maybe, if they decide I fit well.
Lashings of Ginger Beer Time are a queer feminist burlesque collective. They're the kind of people who put on pantos that feature Buttons as the most successful ambidextrous asexual panromantic polyamorous genderqueer weasel farmer in the whole South East (someone please shout if I'm wrong!); love songs about cartography; and Baroness Scratcher with her two awful sons Dave and Boris (that reminds me of this one time on my gap yah...!); a whole bunch of their skits exist on Youtube.
And this year they're hoping to take a show called alt.sex.ed to the Edinburgh Fringe (and, well, I'm hoping to tag along). As they say on that wefund page,
They're awesome, and this project is awesome, and the goodies they're offering are awesome, and one of the ideas we're currently batting around is where I might be able to run a sex ed desk during the shows. I'm aware this isn't the most eloquent of hard sells, but, well, it would be kinda awesome if you considered it, and kinda awesome if you came along to the shows :-)

Queer feminist burlesque collective Lashings of Ginger Beer Time are looking to raise £1,000 to develop and perform a show based around Alternative Sex Education.
We want to raise awareness for all sorts of different perspectives, using our usual blend of song, dance, and comedy. We want to look at the ways that pop culture teaches us we should behave, and tell them to shove it. We're *terrified* of Nadine Dorries.
Some issues that we're working on at the moment include: communication, asexuality, gender, BDSM, polyamory. Queerness of all kinds, even in relationships between men and women. We reject the idea that there's one "right way" to do a relationship, and want to celebrate all of the different ways that it's possible for people to make each other happy.
