At 21, poor & at Uni, Gary Eck was offered $80 an hour to watch and write back cover reviews for porn movies. But a lucrative and potentially fun career in the adult industry was cut short when Gary discovered the company’s little secret and he was forced to turn it down…and sue.

I Could have Been a Porn Star is just one of many true-life confessions in this hilarious tell all show.

From the porn industry to his mum bringing his lunch to him at uni, to his most humiliating gigs and to the darkest period in his life when he hosted Candid Camera on Channel 10 over fifteen years ago.

“Not too many people know this. Not even Channel 10,” says Gary.

“Spellbinding charm, sharp-witted lines coupled with an out-of-the world sense of humourTime Out

“Totally original and clever…funny till it hurt” Daily Telegraph
