There is a corner of our LGBTQIA community that is a minority, under-represented and relatively obscure.
This May, critically acclaimed comedian Eliott Simpson will perform his sell-out show “(A)sexy and I know it” at the Brighton Fringe from 6th to 8th.
Eliott describes himself to QX as a gender fluid pan romantic asexual comedian who been touring the UK and USA for over 6 years. For the past few years he’s been touring the UK’s first ever stand-up comedy show exclusively about Asexuality!
As the UK’s most well know asexual comedian, Eliott has never cared for sex. He enjoys doing people as much as he enjoys doing his taxes (not at all), yet all his life it has led to nothing but ridicule. But in peculiarity lies comedy, and Eliott has it in spades. With tales of gender, stakes, queerness and cakes, Eliott aims to widen your eyes to the bizarre life of an asexual man living in a sex-obsessed world.
The show is called “(A)sexy and I know it” and has previously had sold out performances at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and The Museum of Comedy in London!
This year the show will be at this year’s Brighton Fringe from May 6th-8th, at the Walrus on 10 Ship Street.
Eliot told QX, “I’ve spent years using my comedy to promote asexual awareness and education, from short films, to campaigns, sketches, online shows and even my LGBT+ comedy night that I run in Glasgow called “The Diversity Quota”.
I have recently even appeared on the BBC Scotland documentary “#CancelKarenDunbar” where I talk about the importance of diversity in comedy, and I also made a sketch about asexuality for BBC’s online “Short Stuff’ series.
There is still so little coverage and awareness of asexuality in the general media, and so I think that this show would be very much worth your interest!”
Eliott was Semi-finalist for Scottish Comedian of the Year 2021.
