The Wet Spots

Imagine a society where sexuality is not hidden, but celebrated. Imagine a gleefully candid husband-and-wife duo performing love songs for this society. Now imagine them transplanted into our world, singing jazzy show tunes about masturbation, dildo smugglers, and taking it in the bum.

The Wet Spots (Cass King and John Woods) write unflinchingly frank lyrics paired with sweet, catchy pop melodies. They are known for their lively, up-tempo shows, which involve sing-along, spankings, and bawdy sex ed. Their enthusiasm is contagious. Audience members often tell stories about finding themselves in the bank lineup, absentmindedly singing “smack my bottom!” “It’s not dirty music,” says Woods “It’s sexy. It’s real. Actually, sometimes it’s wishful thinking, but what the hell?”

The act, which started in Vancouver as cabaret entertainment for sex radicals and eastside art weirdoes, has caught the attention of the general public. When the Wet Spots ventured onto the comedy club circuit, they were amazed at the enthusiastic reception they got. “We discovered, much to our delight, that we’re not as bizarre as we thought,” says King. “We’re just outspoken about things that most people conceal.”

Relocated to Toronto, with a new critically acclaimed musical, Sing Your Way to Better Sex, and a song Do You Take It (in the ***?) licensed for Showtime hit The L Word, The Wet Spots’ influence is clearly spreading.
