Lust makes fools of us all from time to time-- but leaves us with the very best stories when it does. What happens when your best-laid plans turn into your worst-laid nights? Grab your happy hour glass of choice and let’s raise a toast to our erotic follies and epic fails.
This month, our theme is “Womp Womp” where we’ll all feel a little more normal after we swap tales of heads or fails. Did your sexy strip end in the wrong kind of tangled? Parents mail you back the panties you left in their house? We’ve all got our stories of sexytimes that are a whole lot funnier in the rearview, so bring them to the mic and you could redeem them with a prize (and our heartfelt wishes for better luck next time).
(Not familiar with Smut Slam? It’s a storytelling open mic where audience members sign up for 5-minute slots to tell their best real-life, first-person, consensual sex stories. It’s queer-friendly, kink-friendly, lifestyle-friendly, body-positive, sex-positive, and wildly fun. No costumes, no notes, no gimmicks, just straight-up raw truth! See the full rules and how it works on our Rules of the Road page.)
Your fabulous femme-cee is longtime Smut Slam DC producer and burlesque performer Diva Darling, joined by a panel of local celebrity judges (TBA) who want to feel your pain.
Join us before the show to enjoy finger food pub fare and sample the decadent cocktail and mocktail menu. Get swag, merch, and edutainment from our vendor table—including Anonymous Sex, the Smut Slam International book edited and signed by Diva.
As always, we have the Fuckbucket where audience members can throw in anonymous confessions or questions to enter the free raffle for a smutty prize. We've got some fabulous storytelling prize packs on tap for our top three tellers, too—your courage could be rewarded by a sexy little something to keep the party going at home!
Tickets: $15 early bird, $20 presale, $25 door
