I'm also thrilled to be doing a run of shows at Hollywood Fringe Festival. Tickets go on sale 5/1.
From virginal dildo salesman to non-nude porn actor, Daniel Shar gives a voyeuristic look at his wild life spent Near Sex For Work. Come get sucked into this unbelievable true story of a timid man getting bursts of confidence through his jobs helping other people get off.
Tastefully raunchy with a throbbing heart, Near Sex For Work takes audiences on a roller coaster of climactic twists and blue-balling turns as Shar chronicles his ridiculous resumé with support from the most sensational videos, audio clips, and images he has amassed along the way (and censored for this production). Fans of comedy shows that go deeper will gush for this one’s potential to reduce the shame and stigma around sex and its industry while also highlighting the reality that, underneath humanity’s massive range of sexual preferences, everyone is ultimately just craving connection.
PLEASE NOTE: this show is for adults only. It does not contain any visible nudity, but there will be censored adult content and sexually explicit language. Being weird or creepy about all this is strictly prohibited.

This show was nominated for Mainstream Venture of the Year at the 2025 AVN Awards, a.k.a. the Oscars of Porn, where Shar also received a nomination for Best Non-Sex Performance as an individual (for his portrayal of an incel OBGYN), along with several group nominations for projects he acted in, including Grand Reel (best feature), Best Featurette, Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene, Best Trans Group Sex Scene, Outstanding Comedy, and Most Outrageous Sex Scene.
The Comedy Bureau named this show one of 2024's Best Things, calling it "one hell of a comedy gold mine."
There have also been some nice write-ups about the first show, the second show, the third show, and the fourth and fifth shows, all from the AVN Media Network, and here is a fun interview about Shar's career/this show with Susannah Breslin for The Reverse Cowgirl.
