Near Sex For Work has repeatedly earned standing ovations from packed crowds at The Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles, and I would love to take it on tour, so contact me now to request Near Sex For Work in your area and help me add to this list of upcoming performances (which you can click on to get tickets once they become available).
I'm also thrilled to be doing a run of shows as part of The Hollywood Fringe Festival. Tickets on sale 5/1.
Near Sex For Work is a multimedia-filled solo show exposing the true story of how one timid man has found fleeting moments of confidence through his jobs facilitating other people’s orgasms. Since first getting hired by an adult toy store while still a virgin, Daniel Shar has gone on to find unlikely success in a variety of sex industry jobs - from running women’s OnlyFans accounts to playing non-nude non-sexual side characters in adult films.
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 I also received a nomination for Best Non-Sex Performance as an individual (for my work as an incel OBGYN), along with several group nominations for projects I 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 in comedy, calling it "one hell of a comedy gold mine." Here is a fun interview I did about my career/this show with Susannah Breslin for The Reverse Cowgirl.
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.
