STORYTELLING IS ABOUT BUILDING A CONNECTION.

SO IS SEX.

For 20 years, Bawdy has featured true stories of sex, kink, body image, gender and more to build community, educate, entertain, and bring people together. We do regular live storytelling events in multiple cities, but there are plenty of ways to get Bawdy: Our Podcast and YouTube channel are fantastic ways to get your Bawdy fix, wherever you are.

Our live events feature an eclectic mix of authors, poets, comedians and actors – along with real people just like you - sharing their (true) adventures in around ten minutes or less. Storytellers submit their material online for this curated show, and each month’s performers are chosen for their panache and sense of (mis)adventure.

Sexual folklorist Dixie De La Tour curates submitted stories, then works with experienced and first-time storytellers to create a one-of-a-kind evening for each and every Bawdy. Her coaching superpowers tease out surprisingly powerful stories of sex, kink or gender. Then at showtime, Dixie coaches the audience, too – creating an emotionally supportive, unintimidating, and sex-positive atmosphere that’s unique, engaging and fun. Add connecting games (like the ever-popular Bang-O) and you have a show that’ll be your new favorite social event EVER.

Come to a live show and meet new, open-minded people who will change your life. Before you know it, you'll be wanting to share your stories, too.
