21 OCT – 1 NOV 2026
Animal Magnetism
Sid Delicious
Colchester, UNITED KINGDOM - ENGLAND
Sid Delicious presents the weird and wonderful world of love and sex in the animal kingdom.
A scientific lecture meets late night cabaret where you can learn everything you've ever wanted to know about sex in the animal kingdom, along with some things you'd rather forget! From who's packing the biggest- and strangest- equipment to the secret war of the sexes happening beneath our mattresses and how outdated Victorian values still shape how we view sex in animals today. Hosted by a fast-talking punk drag king hailed as Colchester's own 'Attenborough on bath salts', you can get involved in the action and try some of Channel 4's most rejected game shows- spin the wheel of karma zoo-tra and test your eye at the ever-popular 'penis or kitchen implement?'*. One thing's for sure, you'll never look at a duck the same way again!
*Fabulous prizes not included
"Wonderfully unhinged in every sense of the word."
"Informative. Deranged. Entertaining."
-Audience praise for Sid Delicious in 'Hyperfixations Presentations'
Additional Content Warnings:
All nudity and sexual content will be of real animals in a scientific context only. The thesis of the show is the complexities of animal sex, this subject will be presented in a light-hearted but honest manner with real pictures of animal genitalia that you could expect to find in a biology textbook. There will also be brief discussion of how some animals have adaptations to prevent unwanted fertilisation (e.g. ducks) which may potentially be triggering to those who have experienced sexual violence. A full disclaimer of these details will be included and further warning before these are discussed.
