Tommy Bradson: When The Sex is Gone

A Stripper. A Boxer. The same lustful heart.

When The Sex is Gone chronicles the life and times of Charlie… a part-time dancer, part-time fighter, full-time hermaphrodite.

“A voice like chilli chocolate – rich, dark & spicy.”
“One of the most confronting, absorbing, original, very funny, very wicked, very clever, sexual 70 minutes you are ever likely to spend anywhere!”
Adelaide Theatre Guide
“A tongue so skilfully abrasive it could strip paint.”
3 Weeks Edinburgh
“Poetic filth”
TimeOut London

Artist
Tommy Bradson

Tommy Bradson’s output is as unique as they come and by no means lacking in accolades. The Green Room Award winner and Helpmann Award nominated actor came to performance late in life after studying oenology and music in Australia. By chance he turned his hand to writing a one man show and short of finding the right person to perform it, Bradson himself stepped into the six-inch shoes. For that he won a handful of awards which brought him to his first Edinburgh and the rest, as they say, is somewhere in an unmarked anonymous chapter of the history books.
