Gothenburg Fringe invites the world's leading lecturers to give talks on the issues that matter. That's why Professor Handler David has been invited to teach Sweden how to put their bitchboys into a submissive puppy headspace in this multi-award-winning and critically-acclaimed comedy (of sorts). Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts) is controversial, provocative, hilarious, and surprisingly introspective journey into queer fetish subculture featuring multimedia projections, gay sex, erotic punk musical numbers, homonormative puppets, audience participation, and more.

Noah Alfred Pantano writes and stars. Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts), has won five awards and tours around the world, raising over $1400+ (so far)(that's around 13600+ Swedish Krona) for LGBTQ+ charities. Pantano was awarded runner-up for "Activist of the Year" at the National Queer Student Awards. He is the current reigning International Mister Superhero Fetish. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. Pantano is infamous for his in-yer-face style of theatre that, while intense, prides itself on its radical queer empathy, unusual stories, and brutal honesty.

The profits from this performance will be donated to a local London LGBTQ+ charity. Pup Play is sponsored by Mr.Riegillio, MessyPup, BoboBear, Sent With Pride, and Essex Startups.
