Kinky Comedy is a recurring sex-positive stand-up and variety show in 📝Los Angeles, CA, produced by 📝Maurice James, that pairs adult-themed humor with a curiosity-friendly post-show mixer.
Kinky Comedy operates primarily at 📝The Spotlight on Cahuenga in Hollywood, with satellite shows in 📝San Diego, CA and Portland. Each core show follows a consistent format: an early-evening seating window, a 7 PM performance, and a mixer afterward — open-minded and curiosity-friendly, but explicitly not a 📝Play Party.
Most lineups feature working comedians adapting their existing material to a sex-positive audience rather than specialists in adult themes. The result is reliably unpredictable — each show finds humor in a new dimension as performers calibrate to a room that responds differently than a standard club crowd.
James has described the show's origin as a constructive outlet for the jokes he couldn't stop making at parties — a way to channel that instinct into stage work rather than disrupt the rooms he was already in. He produces and hosts the series with frequent collaboration from 📝Justin Herman.
I found Kinky Comedy through friends in the 📝Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) community in LA and have attended many times. I've since become friends with Maurice, and the show holds a specific place for me as the rare room where adult humor lands as craft rather than shock.
