Full Disclosure: David Cale in Fluffing for Beginners

About This Show

Three interwoven stories of unexpected erotic encounters, romantic interludes and afternoon liaisons, Fluffing for Beginners tells tales of sexy goings on in bedrooms, hotel rooms and occasionally a field.  Linked together by original songs, and told with humor, the stories in David Cale’s brand new solo show delve into the emotional nuances of desire and explore the sometimes startlingly fluid nature of sexuality.
