Hey, It’s an ugly word for a beautiful thing, so get back in there! Award winning science fiction essayist Meg Elison weaves a hypnotic true tale that takes us from Musicology to Entomology to Homology to Sexology, with a splash of playing doctor for good measure. Recorded live at the Courtyard Cabaret in San Francisco, this was Meg’s first time on the Bawdy stage - but it won’t be her last!
