It’s the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025 series Elaine chats with performer and creator Gabrielle Cabrera about her show My Life as an “Inspirational Porn” Star! My Life as an "Inspirational Porn" Star! @ Just the Snifter Room at Just the Tonic at The Mash House Now – 11th August Time: 20:35 (60 mins) My Life as an “Inspirational Porn” Star is a blend of stand-up, burlesque, and existential dread. We’ve got something for everyone! I refuse to be boxed in, and so does this show. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you might learn about Nazi history and how it ties into feminism? You could feel seen in ways you didn’t know you needed. Either way, it will be well worth the ride. My Life as an "Inspirational Porn" Star! Winner of the Tampa Fringe Social Good Award 2025, and 2019. An "inspirational porn" star, Gabrielle Leonore shares her life story in this irreverent one-woman comedy, filled with candid anecdotes about sex, drugs, and the aspects of life no one prepares you for – especially as an autistic woman. Written and performed by Leonore, the show builds on the success of her previous production, (Re)union, which won the Social Good Award at the 2019 Tampa International Fringe Festival and was also featured in the 2019 Tampa Bay Theatre Festival.
