Annette Slattery interview Nellie Wight about her new show, “Would a Whore Bring a Cake: A History of Pornography”.
Tell us about “Would a Whore bring a cake”.
Would a whore bring cake is the story of what I did this last summer, my friend Bonnie dared to to watch all the erotic videos at the video store. It was a weird time.
You’ve been in WA for a few years. How does the comedy scene there compare to Victoria?
Perth is chockers full of talented comics.. who eventually move to Melbourne. Sometimes during my quieter moments I daydream what it would be like to live in Melbourne. WA’s a really small community and it’s filled with some unbelievable talent and I’m really glad I made the move there. One day I will return to Melbourne and drink many, many drinkable, reasonably priced amd sized coffees, until then I will stay in WA glowering into my latte bucket.
Is this show for porn aficionados only or does it cater to all levels of porn learning?
It really is for beginners, people who are truly knowledgable are going to get extremely irritated about how ignorant I (still) am. Suck it pornorati!
I met Cardinal George Pell some years ago and although I’m not on intimate terms with him I can guess that he wouldn’t appreciate having a show about porn dedicated to him. Do you hate Catholics or do you just wish to anger Andrew Bolt?
I don’t hate Catholics, I just wish to taunt them. Actually that’s untrue, I just want George Pell to watch more porn..s’all I want. 4 realsies.
Will there be cake?
No, God no, unless you want to bring some… do you..want to bring some?
