Bi, Hung, Fit and Married: An Erotic Journey
It sounds like half the ad headers on Scruff, but this is Mark Bentley Cohen’s autobiographical, one-person risqué show about “a couple’s journey of self-discovery as they open their 15-year marriage to explore evolving emotional sexual needs beyond monogamy.” Plus there is a full bar and a sex-positive play space where there are lots of private areas for “mingling” if the play gets you frisky .
Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29. 8pm. Club 8×6, 1775 Haro St. $20. brownpapertickets.com. bihungfit.ca

The Missing Dot Party
The Vancouver Dot Party goes back many years, and yours truly has been to many of them back in the day when gay guys knew how to party. Gone are the days of getting a blow job on the shuttle to the party — these days, nobody wants to mess up their hair before making an entrance. That being said, you can still have a great time as this event makes a grand splash revival with none other than DJ Del Stamp spinning and host Empress XLIV Babette Co-Taylor. Polka Dot attire is a must and will be enforced.
Sunday, May 31. 4-9pm. The Junction, 1138 Davie St. facebook.com/events/1591137907806989/
The Sweet and Sticky Show
Oh, the things I could say about this right now. It’s a Drag Show in Kitsilano, but it will be worth the trip. Hosted by Katy Hairy and Evita Versace, with special guest performances by Gia Metric, Vienna Vanity and more. Whether you are sticky, sweet or something in between, you are sure to have a good time.
Sunday, May 31. 8pm. Displace Hashery, 3293 West 4th Ave. $10.facebook.com/events/396228930559360/
Bette Midler: Divine Intervention
Every gay man has been there: dancing around the bedroom getting ready for a big date, singing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” at the top of their lungs into a dildo for a mic. Well. now is your chance to belt it out along with the divine Miss M at tonight’s concert. You can bet Mandy Kamp will be there, dressed to the teats, to battle any Midler wannabe to the stage door.

Ball and Jax
Some nights, when you are just too lazy to do the deed yourself, join a group of hot, sexy, horny, adventurous men that are more than willing to lend you a hand or two. This group has grown so popular that they are heading into their second year of what can only be described as a pud-pulling orgy — one you will think about for many nights to come.
