"Sex, Death and Fairy Tales"
by Dr Rie Natalenko

Forget the bedtime versions. These stories were never meant for children.

Dr Rie Natalenko loves collecting unusual stories, asking awkward questions, and she will cheerfully ruin everyone's childhood by pointing out what fairy tales were really about. An award-winning writer, screenwriter, educator and editor of Yarn magazine, she has a particular talent for uncovering the strange, the forgotten and the downright unsettling corners of history and literature. Don't worry... you'll never hear Little Red Riding Hood the same way again.

"Laxatives: A Moving Experience"
by Jaco Hamilton-Attwell

Jaco confronts the realization that laxatives do not care if you are standing in a parking lot on Moorhouse Ave. He wants to share valuable knowledge that no one asked for, but everyone needs to know.

Jaco is not a medical professional. He had to have medical tests done, and these required taking laxatives. This led to some explosive experiences which are unfortunately something all of us have experienced, whether it was caused by medication, illness or your body deciding it just wants to open the flood gates.

"My Little Jester: Improv Is Magic"
by Jeff Clark

What is improv? Is it magic? The answer is "Yes, and".... or "No, but"...

Jeff Clark has been wrestling with what improv is for over thirty years, most notably as a member of The Court Jesters and/or as "Gary Starlight", iconic NZ entertainer you've never heard of. He loves talking about a variety of nerdy topics, but this is the one is probably best qualified to talk about.
