1-800-SEX-WYZE: The Health Hotline Musical
If you’ve taken public transit in the last 30 years, you’ve probably seen ads for a certain sexual health information hotline. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work there?
Brought to you by the creators behind The Wet Spots, SHINE: A Burlesque Musical, and Texas Annie: The Legend of the Moan Ranger, 1-800-SEX-WYZE delivers the risque laughs of a proper Fringe musical, with plenty of heart and even some practical sex ed. Think Savage Love meets Avenue Q with a dash of burlesque.
Director Diva Macdonald has been serving camp, chaos, and theatrical absurdity since 2006. Directing credits include SHINE: A Burlesque Musical, Oliver Fanny, and Greece (does Grease). Diva has performed throughout Western Canada and at The Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.
Writer John Woods’ duo The Wet Spots won pick of the Vancouver Fringe in 2004 & 2005, and Best Cabaret at the 2009 Adelaide Fringe. They’ve performed at Massey Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and the London Hippodrome. Their show SHINE: A Burlesque Musical had two hit Vancouver runs, won a 2009 Ovation Award, and earned top reviews at the 2010 New York Fringe. John is also a Certified Sexual Health Educator.
Writer Rosalyn Mihalko is a queer trans woman who tells stories with humor and heart. Her LGBTQ+ musical Texas Annie (co-created with Woods) won Fringe Audience Choice Awards in New York (2025) and Cincinnati (2022). Roz’s television writing work for Lionsgate, Reel One, and MPCA has appeared on Amazon Prime and Hulu.
