Maddy Pratt loves sex … she loves, loves, loves sex. So, it only makes sense that she would pen an ode to her favourite pastime. She is wild and kinky too, but woe betide anyone who thinks she’s a lightweight. Make no mistake, while her one woman show (with accompanying pianist Ashton Turner) is risqué and heaps of…
