About this Event
Adult Content is a one man show from aclaimed comedian and writer Yoshi Obayashi. Yoshi was employed for four years in the adult retail businesses in Seattle; even after getting teargassed during the WTO riots, he still worked his night shift. Eventually, he reached the highest echelons of the industry, working for prestigious yet controversial studio Evil Angel. There, he produced DVDs for famed adult directors Rocco Siffredi, Joey Silvera, John Stagliano, John Leslie and Christof Clark. When Evil Angel’s owner John Stagliano was prosecuted for obscenity by the U.S. Justice Department, Yoshi saw the overreaching power of the government. (The case ended in an acquittal.) He also contributed to “Illegal Magazine,” part of a Copenhagen-based harm reduction effort that supplies street addicts with publications to sell for their own profit.
This is a preview show of his new stage show, Adult Content, inwhich he shares his outrageous, devastating, and sometimes touching stories about the industry, which will premier at the Greenside Venue at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Fest for the entire month of August 2023.
