Comedian has her dildos stolen at the Edinburgh Fringe

Sasha Ellen has had her dildos stolen,

The comic uses them as props in her Edinburgh Fringe show Creeps and Geeks at the Underbelly – but after Friday’s performance realsied that someone had walked off with them.

She told the story on Twitter, posing:: "Today, performing at #edfringe2022, doing my stand-up show at #followthecow an audience member walked off with some props of mine. I’m doing a friendly, whimsical show about sexual harassment and a lady has walked off with 2 of my dildos.

‘When I realised that my lovely penises were missing, I told the @underbelly staff and my heroic front of house staff walked into the bar yelling "Sasha Ellen’s dicks! Has anyone seen Sasha Ellen’s dicks!"

‘After a preliminary search, Underbelly security were alerted and started walkie-talkie-ing each other about my dicks, promising to radio front of house if the lady who took my dicks was located.

‘I ran around Bristo Square and bumped into some of my audience members who confirmed that a lady took them after I reassured her they hadn’t been inside anyone… they have my Twitter handle on them in Sharpie, WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO WITH THEM?!

‘I sat in the dressing room and I ordered some more penises on Amazon and realised two things: inflation is a bitch and also if I wanted them to get them for the next show I would have to get them sent to Underbelly press office.

‘The press office were really nice about it. I left, realising that I had accidentally subscribed to receive two 12-inch double ended dildos every 3 months. I don’t know how one wears them out in 3 months but I hope the lovely staff enjoy them.’
