The Oldest Profession Show

with Franqi French

+Mature Content*

Old Pros is a nonprofit that uses storytelling to advocate for sex worker rights.

We aspire to live in a healthy, free society where everyone has access to rights and opportunities to determine their own future.
At Old Pros, we seek the destigmatization of sex work, where it is not illegal or shameful for consenting adults to exchange erotic services for money or other resources.

We envision a society where sex workers are free to contribute their experience and wisdom to their communities.

We seek the decriminalization of sex work, where individuals are not arrested and cannot be evicted, fired, or lose custody of their children because of their participation in sex work.

All people, whether they have ever participated in sex work or not, should have access to services and support to avoid exploitation, stay safe, and make choices about their own lives.

Sex workers have a right to unencumbered access to the building blocks we all need to move our lives forward. This includes access to banking and investment services, healthcare, education, legal assistance, relevant government programs, and technology platforms.

*Mature Content

"The Oldest Profession is a one woman mad dash through 10,000 years of history from a sex worker's perspective. Part stand up comedy, part history lecture and part deeply moving personal storytelling." Right now it's a description of Old Pros as a non profit, which isn't quite right."

"Picture a one-woman grad seminar held at a comedy club, delivered with the righteous intellectual swagger of someone who has read the archives, paid the bills, and lived the stakes."
