A bestselling author (The Psychopath Test, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed), an innovative screenwriter (Frank, Okja), and a treasured contributor to This American Life, Jon Ronson is one of the world’s most electrifying, and inquisitive, storytellers. In this brand-new live show, the British “journalist and moralist par excellence” (The Guardian) will recount his recent adventures in the porn world, based on his wildly acclaimed podcasts The Butterfly Effect and The Last Days of August. Expect a funny, mysterious—and at-times sad—tale about porn, kindness, violence and the wonders of remaining curious in a night of never-before-heard stories, rare audio, and some very strange bespoke (PG-rated) porn clips.
