Friday May 31, 9pm, Ten Forward: A Star Trek Trivia Night III, Unlovable, 1415-B Dundas Street West
STAR TREK TRIVIA IN TEAMS, BLOOD WINE, BIG LAFFS, SPACEY DJs. So fun. If I didn’t suck so much at Trek knowledge I would go.
Six competitors fake orgasms on stage in front of a live audience and a panel of three sex worker judges assess their performances. After three rounds, the audience will vote and the winner will be crowned Orgasm Idol. This is so fucking great. Organizer Sherwin Tija warns that if the event doesn’t go as well as planned, it will turn into crowd karaoke instead – which is also great, but fakin’ Os just has…such…salacious possibilities. Sign up, you oughta.
