Kink in the Tale: Live Storytelling for Grown-ups

Six storytellers tell their true (enough) sex stories in this sell-out event. Get ready to laugh, gasp, blush and cry all at the same time with sex-positive, inclusive stories told live on stage.
You’ll hear from award-winning authors Kris Kneen (Fat Girl Dancing) and Dylin Hardcastle (A Language of Limbs), sexologist Hilary Caldwell (Slutdom: Reclaiming shame-free sexuality), artist, author and performer Helen Hopcroft (The Nights), the unforgettable Dan McIvor, and your sexually intrepid, ever irreverent host, Donné Restom.

If you’re a fan of events like Queerstories, Story Club, or Erotic Fan Fiction, you’ll love this: it’s storytime done kinky. Don’t bring the children and remember, respect, consent, non-judgment and an open heart will make you a better lover — and the best kind of listener.

★★★★★
‘Hilarious, outrageous, liberating – this tour de force of storytelling breaks taboos and warms hearts. Loved it!’
★★★★★
‘Incisive, poetic, gut bustingly funny, deeply human, hilarious, joyful… also we think we maybe forgot to breathe a few times.’
★★★★★
‘I laughed, I cried, I sighed.’
