About Bawdy Storytelling
Bawdy Storytelling is a monthly storytelling event that features real people sharing their bona fide sexual exploits in 10 minutes or less. Storytellers are an eclectic mix of authors, poets, comedians and actors - along with a handful of real people just like you who have submitted their stories online and were chosen for their panache and sense of misadventure.
Want to be a storyteller at an upcoming Bawdy?
Here’s how it works: Contact Dixie and tell her your story (she’s always looking for new storytellers!) You can write up a short email with the story details, or the two of you can arrange to do a run-through on the phone. Keep in mind your story needs to be under ten minutes in length, needs to be true, and must be told - not read. Bawdy Storytelling is not a reading, it’s a storytelling event. There’s a big difference!
If you have a particular theme that your story fits, let Dixie know. The upcoming Bawdy themes are listed here.
To make sure that you fit the flavor of Bawdy, we ask our performers to commit to the following:
- You need to have attended the event before you can perform at Bawdy. You may have heard great things about us, but you really need to experience Bawdy before you get onstage; we operate differently than sexy readings or clean storytelling events.
- We ask you to attend the events’ rehearsal. We usually hold rehearsal on the Monday right before the event, at a convenient location. What we get: a monthly rehearsal helps us figure out the line-up order for each event. What you get: free coaching and feedback that helps you deliver a knockout performance!
