Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all, "The Laugh".

Todos los días friego la preciosa casa de los Winchester de arriba abajo. Recojo a su hija del colegio y preparo deliciosas comidas para toda la familia antes de subir a cenar sola en mi minúscula habitación del piso superior. Intento no prestar atención a Nina cuando lo ensucia todo simplemente para ver cómo lo limpio. A las extrañas mentiras que cuenta sobre su propia hija. A su marido, que cada día parece más abatido. Pero cuando miro a Andrew a los ojos, castaños, encantadores y llenos de dolor, no me resulta difícil imaginar cómo sería vivir en la piel de Nina.

Morir es tan difícil como inevitable. También para los que sobreviven. El primer día que tuve que limpiarle el culo a mi padre, me mentí diciéndome que era igual que cuando se lo limpiaba a mi hijo: venga, Carmen, que es lo mismo; va, Carmen, que es tu padre; venga, mujer, que ese hombre te limpió el culo a ti. Me lo repetía como quien está a punto de correr para darse impulso y saltar. Es lo mismo, Carmen. Hazlo ya. Pero no. No es lo mismo. Si Pedro Simón fuera un panadero, diríamos que la masa madre de sus novelas son las relaciones familiares.

This is Britain: but not as we know it. THEY are coming closer . . . THEY begin with a dead dog, shadowy footsteps, confiscated books. Soon the National Gallery is purged; eerie towers survey the coast; savage mobs stalk the countryside destroying artworks—and those who resist. THEY capture dissidents—writers, painters, musicians, even the unmarried and childless—in military sweeps, 'curing' these subversives of individual identity. Survivors gather together as cultural refugees, preserving their crafts, creating, loving and remembering. But THEY make it easier to forget ...

Best-selling author Isabel Losada brings her unique blend of humor, curiosity, and honesty to the still-taboo subject of sexuality. This is a brave, funny, and often vulnerable quest to find out how we can make our sex life blissful. On behalf of all women, slightly terrified, she begins with a woman's workshop where she has to get naked. From here, Isabel journeys through the first international conference of clitoral stroking, is informed of 11 different forms of orgasm - 10 of which she hasn't had - endures NHS Kegal exercises and mystical sensations with tantric masters.
