“AIR SEX CHAMPIONSHIPS Monday, like Air Guitar, but instead of an imaginary guitar, you make sweet and/or filthy love to an imaginary partner”

After a year of sold out shows at the Alamo Drafthouse and the Paramount theater in Austin, TX, the World Air Sex Championships are taking to the road and touring fifteen North American cities in the search for this year’s Air Sex Champion.
“Air Sex is sort of like Air Guitar,” said Tim League, founder of the Alamo Drafthouse and the Air Sex World Championship, “except instead of pretending to play an invisible guitar on stage, contestants get up there and pretend to have sex with someone who isn’t there. With their clothes on, typically. They pick a song to perform to and then have two minutes to impress the judges with their overall Airness.”
The first Air Sex Championship season took place exclusively in Austin, with semi-monthly competitions at the Alamo Drafthouse and a finals performance, pitting all the winners of previous rounds against each other, in the historic Paramount Theater as part of the opening night of Fantastic Fest. To find a new champion for this year, we are hitting the road for three weeks, bringing along emcees, judges, and performers that wowed the crowds in Austin last year. The winner of each round will be flown to the Air Sex World Championship later this summer. Check out the complete Air Sex World Championships Tour Schedule.
