Remy Kassimir is scheduled to debut her solo show, "How Cum," in August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show is based on Kassimir's podcast, "How C*m," and will incorporate elements of stand-up, memoir, and character work.

"How Cum" at Edinburgh Fringe

The "How Cum" show is set to run from August 9-13, 16-17, 19-20, and 23-25. Performances will take place from 10:40 p.m. to 11:40 p.m. at Just the Tonic at Westside Rodeo - The Saloon Bar. Tickets for the show are available through Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Just the Tonic.

Kassimir's solo performance revisits the narrative behind her podcast, "How C*m." The podcast began when Kassimir, at 27, had not yet experienced an orgasm. This personal goal led her to launch the podcast, which subsequently became an iTunes Top 50 hit, accumulating six million downloads. The podcast also led to thousands of listeners sharing their own "firsts."

A representative for Kassimir stated that "How Cum" is the "uncensored version" of that story, described as "funny, honest, uncomfortable in the right places and very much from my point of view." The show is presented as a blend of stand-up, memoir, and character work. Kassimir will portray all characters herself, tracing her journey from the initial, personal motivation for the podcast to her subsequent public identity. The show is described as a one-woman performance about one woman's orgasm that ultimately addresses a broader audience.

The podcast "How C*m" sparked international discussions regarding female pleasure, sexual education, and self-discovery. With over six million downloads, the podcast established Kassimir as a notable voice in modern comedy and pop culture, known for combining vulnerability, curiosity, and humor.
