By: Reynard Loki Jan. 07, 2009
The The Wet Spots return to The Zipper Factory Theater with a full set & bring some lusty warmth to your January chill. Picture a husband & wife team from the golden age of comedy. Now picture them singing sweetly about threesomes & taking it in the ass. Internationally acclaimed cabaret duo The Wet Spots (Cass King & John Woods) write the most elegant songs about sex that you will ever hear. The pair presents an image that is vaudevillian, oversexed & weirdly Canadian. Think sex club by way of Monty Python. Using a lively blend of risqué-yet-elegant original songs, audience interaction, spankings & sing-along's, The Wet Spots draw their fans into a world where the libido is celebrated & satirized.
The duo started playing together in 2003 & quickly became headliners at Vancouver cabarets& comedy clubs. Five years later, having developed a following with the success of their internet videos, The Wet Spots travel extensively, playing shows across Canada, the US, the UK & Australia. Their songs have been licensed for TV shows like "The L Word" & their live performances include three sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera House, Massey Hall (Toronto), Cafe de Paris (London), The Box (NYC), as well as many non-traditional venues, including The Center for Sex & Culture (San Francisco), The Museum of Sex (NYC) & many Pride events including the first ever queer comedy showcase in Africa (Cape Town Comedy Festival).Cass & John met in 2001 & married in 2003. Before becoming a Wet Spot, John was s singer-songwriter from Winnipeg who performed with pop & punk bands across Canada & England. Cass was an award-winning spoken word artist & sex columnist from Toronto, who managed a pioneering women's sexuality store. They currently live in Vancouver, BC, Canada.For reservations contact OvationTix at 212-352-3101 or by visiting www.thezipperfactory.com or www.wetspotsmusic.com.
