"A refreshing celebration of the libido in all of its variety!" - Georgia Straight, September 2004
Toronto ON - Sing Your Way to Better Sex is the sex-ed lesson that you never got in high school. Husband and wife musical comedy duo The Wet Spots (Cass King and John Woods) host a rollicking interactive hour aimed at teaching better sex through song and diagrams. Inclusive and empowering, this revue-style show delves into the absurd and beautiful world of sex, where neither the prudes nor the perverts are safe from the sticky end of The Wet Spots’ loving satire.
The Wet Spots in: Sing Your Way To Better Sex was named Pick of The Fringe Vancouver 2004, and was held over for an additional two weeks at Performance Works (Vancouver, October ’04). Original songs from Sing Your Way have been featured on television and radio – including CBC’s ZeD, The Discovery Channel’s Beyond Invention, Showtime’s hit series The L Word. The Wet Spots were named Vancouver’s Best Adult Entertainers 2003-4 by The Georgia Straight and are currently nominated for Variety Entertainer of the Year (2005) by the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities.
Cass King was born in Scarborough and studied theatre at Ryerson. She started performing Spoken Word in 1994 and traveled the states within the Poetry Slam community, including touring on the Slam America Bus, a cross - country poetry tour, in 2000. Cass also produced and directed Cabarets in Vancouver from 1996-2004, including The Blue Lizard Cocktail Club and Get Lit: a monthly spoken word cabaret. She was the Retail Manager at Womyns’ Ware, Canada’s pioneering women’s sexuality store, and wrote the sex column Organ Grinder for Terminal City Magazine. Cass met her partner and husband John Woods at a poetry reading in 2001. They performed their first songs together at a book launch for Arsenal Pulp Press author Ivan Coyote (One Man's Trash) and at pot comic Watermelon's infamous cabaret, "The Grow Show".
John Woods lived in Winnipeg for his first twenty-four years. While still in high school in the late eighties he began playing with a series of local rock, punk and pop bands in the city’s vibrant underground all-ages venue circuit. In his spare time he studied English Literature & Composition at the U of M and slutted around the local art scene. This ruined his ability to write for several years. After a brief stint fronting hardcore legends Guy Smiley, Woods relocated to London England with pop act The Orchid Highway in 1994. He remained with the band over ten years and three cities, until deciding to make it exclusive with The Wet Spots in 2004.
