The show lasts about two hours and is all extemporaneously told. Expect a funny, surprising, moving visit behind the locked doors of the Private Pleasures Booth.
Carol Queen has performed "Peep Show" all over the US and Canada, but only once before in San Francisco. She'll be backed by the VJ stylings of the creative Vann Hall, who accompanied her in May when she performed "Peep Show" at the Roxie as part of the Sex Workers' Art and Video Festival.
