“Look at me for this bit… don’t look away!” 

Tiff Stevenson’s set consists of cheerful rambling with the potential to appeal to both high and low brow audiences as she’s ensured to cover all bases: science and farts. She’s quick to admit the title Post Coital is slightly misleading. After a joke about perimenopause, she winks: “Is it sexy yet?” 

Weaved through the set is the thread of manifestation, which she deems “hot girl currency”. She confidently bounces around topics, deftly balancing silly anecdotes from her party animal past with sincere contemplation about aging and classism. 

Stevenson’s clear delivery makes it easy for the audience to enjoy the ride. She is as engaging discussing her father’s dementia as she is when defining the qualities of a witch (she has a blood test to prove her connection to the occult) and confiding in us about her guardian angel, whose didactic messages are delivered not from heaven, but TikTok. 

You’ll leave Post Coital with interesting facts from two categories, 1. the scientific: ‘Observer Effect,’ and 2. the vulgar: Stevenson’s unique nickname for a manicure.
