ABOUT THE WET SPOTS
“The aim of our show is to entertain people with the notion that sexual expression is healthy and beautiful … and funny.” - Cass King
Picture a husband and wife team from the golden age of comedy. Now picture them singing sweetly about threesomes and taking it in the ass. Internationally acclaimed cabaret duo The Wet Spots (Cass King and John Woods) write the most elegant songs about sex that you will ever hear.
The pair presents an image that is vaudevillian, oversexed, and weirdly Canadian: Think sex club by way of Monty Python. Using a lively blend of original songs, audience interaction, spankings and singalongs, The Wet Spots draw their fans into a world where the libido is celebrated and satirized.
The duo started playing together in 2003, and quickly became headliners at cabarets and comedy clubs. The Wet Spots travel extensively, playing shows across Canada, the US, the UK and Australia. In 2013 they were honoured to open for their favourite comedian, Margaret Cho, at the Center for Performing Arts, in Vancouver.
Despite (or rather, because of) their adult subject matter, The Wet Spots' genre-busting act appeals to a broad audience. Their songs have been licensed for TV shows like The L Word and live credits include 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 and Culture (San Francisco), The Museum of Sex (NYC), and many Pride events including the first ever queer comedy showcase in Africa (Cape Town Comedy Festival). In addition, their musical SHINE: A Burlesque Musical, written with cowriter Sam Dulmage, won Vancouver's Ovation Award for Outstanding Original Work, and played to sold out houses at Vancouver's Waterfront Theatre, Seattle's Theatre Off Jackson, and The New York Fringe Festival.
