Lane Kwederis is an American real life Dominatrix who specialises in Fin Dom, but what is Fin Dom and what is life like as a sex worker?

While waiting for the show to start, the background music is sexually explicit making you wonder what’s to come.
Lane enters the stage dressed appropriately and takes us through 3 brief scenes, Foot fetish, Bondage Beach and Tease & Denial.
She discusses foot fetish parties and what’s the ‘going rate’ before explaining Fin Dom.

Lane explains what Fin Dom is and how clients pay her to take their money (Financial Dominatrix), not for sex, she turns up at an ATM and withdraws clients money in front of them?? She then demonstrates this with the use of some videos. After some audience participation to show how it works, Lane then proceeds to sing an amusing Rap song!

Lane then delves into alternative weird and wonderful sex requests from her past and explains the difficulties of an open relationship with a boyfriend.
Then it’s ‘Did I do that for money?’ Q&A and the audience are asked to guess the right answers to some unusual scenarios which she did or didn’t do!

As the show winds down, Lane talks about when she told family and friends about her ‘Occupation’ and the different reactions she received. Trying to convince people being a sex worker doesn’t mean you are a Wh**E is not as easy as it seems.
She finishes with another song, this time it’s sort of 50’s Cabaret style with some impressive high notes into the bargain.

Lane’s insight into being s sex worker is not just about financial gain, it’s also a persons fight against public perceptions.
It’s an informative performance expertly delivered by a brave and talented woman.
