'My Dad Wrote a Porno' World Tour 2020

Overview

A book described as "a modern story of sex, erotica and passion. How the sexiest sales girl in business earns her huge bonus by being the best at removing her high heels," might not be anything to write home about. But what if the author of said book was someone's dad, and that someone decided it would be hilarious to read a chapter every week to the entire world, with some incredibly funny friends providing commentary? Jamie Morton did just that with his father's (pen name: Rocky Flinstone) erotic 'novels', the Belinda Blinked series. And so the audacious and pants-wettingly hilarious podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno was born.

Since its premiere in 2015, the podcast about "the best/worst erotica ever written" has racked up over 150 million downloads. And now, off the back of an HBO Original Series featuring a "lost chapter", Morton and his pals James Cooper and Alice Levine are bringing their hilarious smut back to Sydney in 2020.

As part of a huge world tour, the live show will treat 'Belinkers' to two shows at the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday, January 8 and Thursday, January 9 (with the second added due to overwhelming demand). Team Porno will read unreleased material from the erotic saga while throwing in a few surprises and interactive elements.

Now four books deep — with the fifth due to be cracked opened on Monday, September 9, 2019 — the series follows the sexual escapades of Belinda Blumenthal who works in the sales and marketing department of a pots and pans company. There have been leather rooms and nipples as big as Titanic rivets, anti-erotic ridiculousness with sales reps and young-ish men, references to pomegranates and the popping of vaginal lids, and one truly disgusting flaking prosthetic appendage.

If you're a fan of the show, the live incarnation should make you very happy. As Belinda says, "When you get what you want, you feel great."

Tickets go on sale at 1pm on Thursday, July 18, 2019
