Dirty Words was born in the fast and loose crucible that is Alexander Upstairs' own monthly experimental platform, Play Things. Immediately it became a cult sensation. Filthy, Explicit and incredibly funny… Dirty Words pulls back the covers on erotica, chat sex, dirty talk and naughty sexy grammar. In seven sketches Alicia and Dylan turn up the raunch, slipping in sexy tongue twisters and burlesque shenanigans.

Warning: contains all the dirty words and also some almost nudity.

To be perfectly honest, we have been to Alexander bar several times and have enjoyed every visit. The venue is a great addition to the Cape Town social scene and not forgetting the vibey bar. My compliments to the owners, keep up the good work!
