The show, which follows Shar's career from his days as a sex toy salesman to his current work as a non-sex actor, also premieres at 7 p.m. on Sept. 10 at CitySpace, 43 Main St, Easthampton, MA 01027.

The show comes after a sold-out run (and encore) at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, where Shar received a positive review from The Hollywood Reporter's Allen Salkin, who wrote, “I laughed so much I almost had an asthma attack… go see it.” The Comedy Bureau also selected “Near Sex For Work“ as one of 2024’s Best Things, calling it “one hell of a comedy gold mine.”
The show was up for Mainstream Venture of the Year at the 2025 AVN Awards, where Shar also received a Best Non-Sex Performance nomination for his work as an incel OBGYN in the Adult Time feature BIRTH. Shar is eyeing another nomination next year for his role as Little Bill, Isiah Maxwell’s sidekick, in Vixen’s 5-part feature The Blueprint, now streaming.
Shar is represented by ATMLA.
