It’s a seminal moment in the life of many a young boy: the discovery of Dad’s porn stash. Such was the case for Andrew Goffman, who has turned his experience of finding his father’s XXX VHS tapes at the age of eleven into the hit one-man show The Accidental Pervert. Goffman, a stand-up comic who has appeared in such productions as Grandma Sylvia’s Funeral, has been performing the ninety-minute show since 2005, entertaining audiences all over the country. “You don’t think of your dad having sex,” he says. “Your dad is supposed to have . . . naps.” Meanwhile, his mother calls out, “Don’t touch yourself down there or your hand will stick to it!” But it is not played simply for dirty yuks. “It’s really what all of, I think, everybody can relate to in growing up and how to deal with sex and how to deal with maturity,” he explains in a promotional video. “It’s really about having good relationships.”
