Do you have questions about how sex work is criminalised in the UK? Are you confused between the difference between ‘Decriminalisation'' (whoo) and ‘Legalisation' (boo)? Do you want to know why sex workers and human rights organisations are against the ‘Nordic Model' of sex work criminalisation, even though it claims to decriminalise the sex worker? THEN YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE BEFORE THE 13th MAY! Hello and welcome to this very important EMERGENCY episode of Really Good Exposure. As you may or may not know, there is currently a government consultation on the UK Police and Crime Bill. Some of the proposed amendments to this bill would mean the introduction of something called the ‘Nordic Model' of criminalising sex work. On the surface this model (sometimes called the ‘End Demand' model) is pitched as a ‘feminist' way to criminalise sex work, because it claims to decriminalise the sex seller and criminalise the sex buyers. However, the Nordic Model has been proven to increase violence against workers every where it has been introduced. This law being implemented in the UK would be incredibly dangerous for sex workers, and would make it easier for perpetrators of violence to harm this already-marginalised group of workers. I invited writer, performer, activist and ex-stripper Stacey Clare to do this emergency episode of RGE so that listeners could not only learn about the Nordic Model, and why it is so dangerous, but also so that they could find information on how to write to the government opposing these proposed amendments to the Police and Crime Bill before the deadline of the 13th May. If you are a feminist, you will inherently believe that women have a right to bodily autonomy, safety at work, and the same human rights as anyone else. Please make your voices heard before 13th May! Find out how to oppose the Nordic model here: https://www.nationaluglymugs.org/safety_content/how-to-respond-to-the-uk-police-and-crime-bill Read why the Nordic Model is so harmful here: https://decrimnow.org.uk/open-letter-on-the-nordic-model Read example written evidence from a national sex worker safety charity on why they oppose the introduction of the Nordic Model here: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cmpublic/CrimePolicing/memo/CPB05.htm More about Stacey: Stacey Clare is a British writer, activist, and former stripper. She is the co-founder of the East London Strippers Collective (ELSC) to advocate for labor rights, fair treatment, and the destigmatisation of sex work. Stacey is the author of the book ‘The Ethical Stripper: Sex, Work and Labour Rights in the Night-time Economy', which examines the the sex industry. Stacey has also performed at events like the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and given a TEDx talk challenging societal perceptions of sex workers. Stacey runs creative projects like life-drawing classes with strippers as models and is currently preparing to take her show ‘Ask a Stripper' to Brighton Fringe Festival this month (get tickets here: https://www.brightonfringe.org/events/ask-a-stripper-pulling-back-the-g-string ) and back to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August (tickets here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/ask-a-stripper-pulling-back-the-g-string ) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ethicalstripper

On this episode of Comedicine, we are hopping across the pond to speak with Liz Easter. Liz is a seasoned veterinarian and relatively new stand-up comedian. She has been a primary care veterinarian in the UK for 19 years, and she recently has made a shift into mobile veterinary palliative and end-of-life care. Liz keeps her comedy life and her veterinary life separate, which is just a personal choice and totally not because she is a spy. She tells us about her first comedy set when she lost her voice right before the showcase. Most people would have bailed, but she wrote a whole new set and performed it using text-to-voice like a champ. Liz tells us about the London stand-up scene and what it's like to perform in a gong show that uses dildoes as gongs. Yes, that's what I said.Instagram: https://instagram.com/liz_like_the_tube_line?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==YouTube ‘Text to Speech': https://youtu.be/y4o8Pav4Ta4Liz Easter is a Veterinarian working in mobile end-of-life care in London, England, having spent 19 years in general practice. She has been performing stand-up comedy since 2022, and is an observational and storytelling comic. She performed at the 2022 Brighton Fringe, and more recently, completely died on her ass at the Big Belly Ding Dong Gong show in London. At home, Liz has two children, a cat and a long-suffering husband, who feature in much of her stand-up material.Timestamps [00:00] Introducing Dr Liz Easter [00:55] Is it Dr or Mr?

It's our eighth episode so deal with it, Dad! Steve sits down with the supercool Jen Ives to tackle "Taboo", a word born out of confusion and awkwardness and subsequently torn between the shameful and the sacred. In possibly our widest-ranging chat yet that bounces from the cosmic to the personal, Steve and Jen play a comprehensive round of "Is it Taboo, or GTFOI…?" and ponder how it intersects with her life, love and self. Can a person themselves be a taboo? What is taboo that wasn't always? What is no longer taboo that always was? Are we standing right on the edge of that change? Can all taboos be broken? And should they? Jen is a Brighton-based comedian, who won 2nd place at The Laughing Horse New Act Of The Year in 2018, and got to the final of Liecester Mercury New Comedian Awards in 2019. Every Wednesday in May she will be hitting Brighton Fringe Festival with her debut show "OestroJen" (21:30 the first night, then 17:00 for the rest).

The Udderbelly is a big, blue, up-side-down cow that tours the country attending various festivals including our very own Brighton Fringe Festival. I had the pleasure of sitting in the Udderbelly bar (actually a tent) and chatting with two comedy sketch teams who were playing there, Greedy (Louie Bayliss, Felicity Wren, Rachel Egan, Alan Freestone and James Wren) and The Pros from Dover (Neil Cole, Phil Whelans and Richard Glover).
