Tell Me Something Good: MAY Sexy Storytelling Slam
Wednesday, May 7
at 8:00pm – 11:55pm
1214 Queen Street West, Toronto
Inspired by Bawdy Storytelling in California, Tell Me Something Good (@TellMeToronto) brings sexy storytelling to Toronto. Samantha Fraser (@nympsam) and Sophie Delancey (@sophiedelancey) are your lovely co-hosts every month for your storytelling pleasure. Tell Me Something Good is your opportunity to share short stories of sexual glory, gaffes, and growth for the chance to win sexy prizes, or if you’d rather not share, feel free to just sit back and be entertained.
This month we are returning to the Melody Bar at the Gladstone Hotel. Also, this event will be free once again, so make sure you show up early to grab your seat.
Doors at 8 with some fun warm-up activities, including Truth or Dare. Storytelling kicks off at 9 pm sharp!
How it works for Interested Storytellers:
You sign up and we’ll toss names into a hat to pick up to 10-15 storytellers for slots of up to 5 minutes each. There are points for engaging with the audience (so don’t just read the whole thing!) and it must be a true story!
This month’s theme is Sexual Empowerment. We share a lot of stories at TMSG that are funny or sometimes cringe-worthy, but this month we’re digging a little deeper to get to those moments that have really been pivotal in your sexual journey. Do you have a story about body pride? Acceptance? Finding community? What has empowered you along the way? Where has your inspiration come from? (Note: Stories can obviously still be funny and/or cringeworthy!) 😉
We’ll have an esteemed panel of judges who will start the night off with a few of their own stories and then rank each entry to choose our winners at the end of the night.
May’s Judges are:
Wil McLean of Sybian Toronto
Caitlin K. Roberts of I’d Tap That and To Be a Slut
Filmmaker, host, columnist and writer Buffy Childerhose
*** Important note: We strive on making this a safe(r) event. We will not tolerate homophobia, racism, transphobia, ablism, agism, misogyny, whorephobia, slut shaming, fat-phobia, or any other jerky behaviour or language. Please make sure that your stories are respectful so that everyone can feel included and have a good time! And in the words of Samantha’s first crush, Wil Wheaton, don’t be a dick! ***
