Erotic Fan Fiction

An intimate audience choked with laughter – and sometimes with mortification – for two hours at Eddie Sharp’s Erotic Fan Fiction. Sharp hosted a bill that featured Brendan Maclean, Lewis Hobba, Henry Stone, Nikki Britton and Catherine Deveny to reveal “beautiful pieces of pure filth”.

Sharp opened the event with his disturbing story of the Irwin clan, which largely focused on Bindi and bestiality (not exactly what this scribe would call erotica). Maclean continued with his surprisingly developed characters and backstories, which saw Big Bird and Snuffleupagus get down ‘n’ dirty in the obviously sensual Sesame Street. Pokemon’s Ash was protagonist in Henry Stone’s sordid story — though thankfully not every performer used children or children’s fiction as the basis of their erotica. Crowd favourite Lewis Hobba had penned a love story between Stephen Hawking and Siri (whom he described as a cross between Cate Blanchett and Steve Jobs, wearing black PVC pants and turtleneck sweater). Nikki Britton, another crowd favourite, wove commentary into the pornographic meeting of Rupert Murdoch and Kyle Sandilands, who literally fuck each other with their money. Finally came Catherine Deveny, who brought Tony Abbott, Cardinal George Pell, Gina Rinehart and Andrew Bolt into a helluvan orgy that I will not repeat — it took me long enough to forget the horror the first time around.

Though this was the only event this Sydney Comedy Festival, Sharp promised that we would be penetrated once more by Erotic Fan Fiction in cumming months.
