A huge thank you to the sun, the moon, the tide, the sky, and my rock @laurenknappett for co-direction and cinematography

PLOT TWIST he has a mother. Can’t book one without the other. Come as a pair. Family affair. (She’s calling him Mitch cuz that was his name until we found a better one). Neither of them can shake 2006. She needs a name too. Name her in the comments now. GO!
Like I’ve said before (and will keep saying til it sticks!) I don’t want groups of friends coming and sitting together and laughing and grinning while I’m on stage. Come if you genuinely want to make contact with the spirit world and get help with your future. If that’s not you, keep scrolling. Link in my biography for those of you seeking real change
Had to blast the brightness up to 100 in post for u to see my face because this was performed during a power cut and all we had for lighting was this row of LED candles who barely had any power themselves god bless them. Sharing this excerpt because I wrote it specifically for this reading when I realised that the original piece didn’t really have an ending and I needed to finish it properly just like I finished myself off properly all those years ago. Lmk if you’d be interested in reading the full thing, I’ll publish the new version if that’s what the people want. Or maybe I’ll do another reading. For those in the don’t know, this is the story of my first orgasm which I filmed on a Nokia in 2006. Thank u @aaronybailey & @thereturnofshe for making an unknown dream come true. Thank u @annalilydean for capturing. And thank u to the audience for accepting me at my rape joke #hollowman #ianhuntley #aronofsky
My newsletter has been in the top 100 on the Humor charts of Substack for a couple years now and I forgot to tell anyone. It first appeared at #51 which was fine, then it dropped to #69 which was ideal, and now it lurks at #87 which is neither here nor there. Let’s work together to get it back up to #69. Subscribe at the L in my B, and follow @thisis_uncalledfor if u like nudes
Chloe Borthwick (@absolutely_relentless ) is a London-based comedy writer and performer in drag, film, stand-up, and sketch. She was recently a finalist of LIPSYNC1000, performing her infamous impersonation of Justin Bieber. She makes shot-for-shot remakes of film scenes and music videos with long-term collaborator, Meg Hodgson. And she writes a monthly newsletter on Substack (UNCALLED-FOR), where her piece for Softer/Harder was born.
A chilling account of using a Nokia 7610 to film herself masturbating for the first time, My First Orgasm (and other films) plays out every final detail, weaving in and out of the popular memories and influences that informed the act.
