About Bawdy Storytelling:

Bawdy Storytelling - the Original Sex + Storytelling series - features Real People & Rockstars sharing their Bona Fide Sexual Exploits Live Onstage; think of us as a One Night Stand with the Moth & Savage Love. Storytellers are an eclectic mix of Authors, Porn Stars, Sex Educators, Comics & More, along with Regular Joes just like you who submitted their stories online and were chosen for their panache and sense of (Mis)Adventure.

Bawdy Storytelling features tales of Carnal Wins & Epic Fails with No Scripts, No Nets, and No Holds Barred. These 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. Join Sexual Folklorist Dixie De La Tour & hand-picked Rockstars as they share their own stories of Love, Lust, and making you feel funny in your bathing suit area. Hey, you may even go home with a few new tricks for your boudoir arsenal!

A REVIEW of Bawdy Storytelling : "Stories are powerful. 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

❤ Jeffrey Allen Hayes is a Bawdy regular and two-time Best of Bawdy winner. He holds an MA in drama therapy and is no stranger to the healing power of performance. He also plans LGBT events and programs at a senior center, works at a gay sex club, and facilitates roleplaying games professionally. You can follow him on twitter @GooglyButts where he tweets pictures of buttholes with googly eyes.

❤ Lisa Graves has lived in the Bay Area since 1980 and current lives in East bay with her Chickens, Rabbits and dog. Always involved in the visual arts, she now finds art and expression in writing. She finds people endlessly interesting and life never static and never under estimates the power of a good conversation while seeking new adventures in the adult playground.

❤ Jessica Cohen grew up as the daughter of the world’s best known Sex Surrogate. Raised by parents in an open marriage by her famous mom and by a dad who could charm the birds out of the trees with his yarns, Jessica heard a lot of stories around the kitchen table - and most of them were about sex. As a Bay area kid, she finds that what you get out of life is mostly about how you look at it. So, Jessica believes that that a good story can change any disaster into a learning experience, or make any crushing embarrassment into a hearty belly laugh. And yes, sex and storytelling is now a family tradition, because her Mom (Cheryl Cohen-Greene, author of ‘An Intimate Life: Sex, Love and my Journey as a Surrogate Partner’ who was played by Helen Hunt in the movie version ‘The Sessions’) told a story on Bawdy’s stage about 5 years ago. That makes Jessica a second generation Bawdy Storyteller!

❤ Amp is a blogger, producer, sex worker, and activist for sex positivity in the LGBTQ+ community. A newcomer to San Francisco, he writes and produces content for a weekly YouTube channel called "Watts The Safeword" where he works to demystify kink in a fun and approachable way. Amp first started exploring his kinks in the human pup community where he quickly branched out to online media, sex work and now works full-time at Mr S Leather. Whether online or in person, he continues to try to educate people and help discover who they are sexually while still having fun and being safe.

❤ Rachel Lark is a San Francisco based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her music has been featured on The Savage Lovecast and Salon.com and she tours regularly throughout the U.S. and Europe. In March 2017 she released her third album, They've Done Studies, and produced a multi-media rock opera to accompany the album, which she brought on tour with her band, The Damaged Goods.
