No other medium has the ability to move\, inspire\, or change us quite like a well-crafted narrative. Never has this been more true than the world of sex\, where fear\, shame\, and misinformation abound. This is all a high-minded and roundabout way of telling you to check out Thursday’s edition of Bawdy Storytelling\, a rousing and arousing night of true sex stories that promises to make you laugh\, make you think\, and make you hard … pressed to find a more interesting thing to do on a Thursday night.” – SF Weekly \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nNamed #1 on Marie Claire’s 14 Best Sex Podcasts: \nhttps://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/news/a21284/best-sex-podcasts/ \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nNamed 1 of Uproxx’s 10 Best Sex Podcasts to listen to right now: \nhttps://uproxx.com/life/best-sex-podcasts-right-now/ \n••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nVoted 1 of Esquire’s 10 Best Sex Podcasts\, no matter your taste: \nhttps://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/sex/a46389/best-sex-podcasts \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \n“The Moth for Pervs” – LA Weekly \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nPerformer Bios: \n❤ Dixie De La Tour is a sexual folklorist\, storyteller\, entrepreneur\, podcaster\, teacher\, catalyst\, storytelling coach\, community builder\, facilitator\, & instigator (& that’s just for starters). She is also the founder\, curator & host of the award-winning sex and storytelling series\, Bawdy Storytelling\, that’s now headed into year 12 (“The original sex and storytelling series” – Playgirl\, “The Moth for Pervs” – LA Weekly) \nCalled “a stiff shot of courage in a push-up bra”\, Dixie is passionate about the art of storytelling and its ability reduce social anxiety and connect strangers. A former dating site community manager\, this story-loving southerner founded Bawdy Storytelling (Real People & Rockstars sharing their Bona Fide Sexual Exploits Live Onstage). Monthly in San Francisco and Seattle and touring nationally\, Bawdy Storytelling features tales of Carnal Wins & Epic Fails with No Scripts\, No Nets\, and No Holds Barred – at Bawdy\, folks aren’t reading from cue cards: this is honest-to-badness story time with true sexcapades and poignant\, transformational tales at each and every show. \nDixie has been Sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (“Saint Kiss & Make You Tell”)\, and is also the host and curator of Bona Fide storytelling and BawdySlam story slam. Her true stories can been heard on the Risk! podcast and her own award-winning Bawdy Storytelling podcast (Best Sex Podcast from Marie Claire\, Uproxx and Esquire Magazine\, plus Bustle voted Bawdy a “Sexy Date Idea for a Long Term Relationship”). You can follow Dixie’s antics at @Bawdy\, at facebook.com/DixieDeLaTour & she’s always at www.BawdyStorytelling.com \n❤ Born and raised in the Bay Area\, Charra Steele is feisty\, kinky\, sometimes a bit socially awkward and an all around people pleaser. When she’s not cooking\, spanking asses or reading smut\, you can probably find her crocheting adorable BDSM teddy bears. Getting in front of a crowd is not something that she would usually volunteer to do – unless\, of course\, it’s to spank a juicy booty. \n❤ When singing on his best behavior\, Jefferson Bergey is a sought-after private event vocalist\, M.C.\, and consultant for the award-winning Lucky Devils Band as well as a solo artist for Ivy Hill Entertainment. Alongside his busy performance calendar he maintains a full schedule as a voice coach for beginning singers at the Starland School of Music in Alameda and privately at his studio in North Oakland. \nWhen he isn’t performing in a family-friendly environment\, Bergey takes great delight in participating in shows that could very well be considered family-unfriendly. Bergey writes and performs his own unique genre of (Immature) Adult Contemporary in various comedy shows\, podcasts\, storytelling events\, and house concerts. It’s coffee shop singer-songwriter folk music… if the coffee shop also sold sex toys and sativa gummy bears. Definitely not for the very young or the very old and quite possibly conservative. Most notably he’s become a regular performer in San Francisco’s Bawdy Storytelling for which he writes custom songs for host and creator Dixie De La Tour. He has released an album of live studio takes titled ‘Come For Me’\, inspired by and largely comprised of those sex-centric Bawdy compositions. The title song which features him Tuvan throat-singing\, also appeared on Kevin Allison’s popular RISK! podcast. Follow him at @jeffersonbergey on Twitter and see all his upcoming shows at JeffersonBergey.com \nNo refunds or exchanges. Lineup subject to change. \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nThe Original Sex + Storytelling series\, featuring Real People & Rockstars sharing their Bona Fide Sexual Exploits\, Live Onstage \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nWinner of SFist’s Best Storytelling Show\, the SF Weekly’s Best of San Francisco & LA Weekly’s Best Of Los Angeles (for Best Storytelling) & 2 Time Winner of the SF Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay Award (Best Literary Event) \n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nWant more Bawdy? \nwww.BawdyStorytelling.com \nTwitter: @Bawdy \n& at Facebook.com/BawdyStorytelling
