Picture an old-fashioned husband and wife song and dance duo from the golden age of comedy. Now picture them singing sweetly about threesomes, sex toys, and taking it in the ass. The Wet Spots (Cass King and John Woods) write the most elegant songs about the raunchiest subjects that you will ever hear. With sold out shows across Canada and the US, and a cult following from the success of their internet video, the duo travels the world with their unique blend of stand-up, song, and sex advocacy. Their live credits include smash appearances at The Vancouver International (Canwest) Comedy Fest, the We're Funny That Way Queer Comedy Fest (Toronto), and the Cape Town Comedy Fest (South Africa), as well as many non-traditional venues, including The Centre for Sex and Culture (San Francisco), The Museum of Sex (NYC), and the Skin Two Rubber Ball (UK) and three sold-out nights at The Sydney Opera House in Australia. Few are indifferent when it comes to their genre-busting act. They have won critical acclaim for their "outrageously clever lyrics" (Georgia Straight) and "sophisticated showmanship" (Vancouver Sun). They have also been called "utterly without substance" and accused of "lowering the tone of the evening" (Cape Town Times). Confirming both opinions, The Wet Spots have become favourites on New York and London's cabaret circuits, AND on shock-jock Howard Stern's satellite radio station.
Darlings! I'm producing a Sexploration with Monika episode on the Masturbate-A-Thon the Center for Sex and Culture benefit, and I've had "Porcupines Do It With A Stick" stuck in my head *all day*!!! xoxo from San Francisco... :) Monika
Best sex comedy EVAR! My roommates and I play your discs at every party we throw (often enough to have it requested)...I think Toes is the favorite so far. We're trying to come up with a three person tango dance...
Please come back East Coast way soon. New England has had a lot of the white stuff this winter, but it's April now, and time for mud season; I would much rather step into a WET SPOTS show again.
Oh thank you for adding me! I've been sending links to your music to everyone I know. Love you!!! You need to come play down south, Key West would be perfect for you and give me an excuse to head back down.
What a treat to wake up to your lovely faces! At last we meet! My latest show at the International Burlesque Festival will be filmed, I'll be sure to get you a copy so you can see my own interpretation of your ode to bottoms x
Arcata wouldn't be the same without the occasional Wet Spot. Glad I could pack the house for you, if you ever need my PR pimpin' service again...here I am.
Just saw you at El Cid last night and already anticipating your next jaunt to LA-La-land. Do come back and rock our world again soon! Getting sweaty with anticipation already - whee!
