Once upon a time, Bawdy Storytelling got a little naughtier...

What happens when an evening of hilarious, heartfelt, outrageous true stories about sex, dating, kink, relationships, and everything in between doesn't end when the last storyteller leaves the stage?

You get Naughty Bawdy… part Bawdy Storytelling, part play party, and one very memorable night where happily ever after is only the beginning.

For one enchanted evening, we're opening the storybook to a collection of fairy tales you definitely weren't told as a child… because these tales are true.

📖 TRUE-LIFE FAIRY TALES

Gather 'round, dear adventurers...

We’ll start the evening with Bawdy Storytelling, where real people take the stage to tell their true-life tales of desire, connection, adventure, questionable decisions, unexpected plot twists, and the wonderfully weird things that happen when humans get intimate.

🪄 FIND YOUR FELLOW ADVENTURERS WITH BANG-O

You don't need a magic mirror to find the interesting characters in this kingdom. We'll be playing Bang-O, Bawdy's infamous icebreaker designed to get you out of your tower and meeting your fellow revelers. Complete your quest. Fill your card. Talk to strangers. You might find a new friend. You might find a new FWB. You might win a prize!

🎩 THE HAT OF DESTINY

Think you've lived a fairy tale worthy of the stage? Now you might get to tell it. In addition to our featured storytellers, we'll invite a few brave adventurers from the audience to share a 5-minute true-life naughty fairy tale of their own.

Add your name to the Hat of Destiny. Fate will choose a few names, and those lucky storytellers will have 5 minutes on the Bawdy stage to enchant the kingdom with a true story.

Forget the fairy tales you grew up with. These stories actually happened.

Welcome to Once Upon a Naughty Bawdy… where Bawdy reallllly gets you laid! (With consent, of course)

VOLUNTEERING:

Volunteering is a great way to meet people, and feel involved in the community, plus you get in for free!

VENUE & ACCESSIBILITY:

The Bawdy Storytelling show will take place in the main building, which also offers plenty of space to mingle, socialize, and enjoy our BYOB bar throughout the evening.

Not feeling the play-party side of the night? No problem! There are plenty of spaces where you can hang out, connect, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere without participating in play. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, you can venture beyond the main social areas and explore the venue's dedicated play spaces. Our play spaces will be open all night, so you’re welcome to explore whenever the mood strikes!

Please note that the venue is not fully wheelchair accessible. The first floor, including the main storytelling and social areas, is accessible, and as of June 2026, wheelchair-accessible bathroom facilities are available. Some additional areas of the venue, including some play spaces, require navigating stairs. If you have specific accessibility needs or questions about accessing any part of the event, please contact us in advance. We'll do our best to help you plan your evening and make accommodations wherever possible.

SAFETY:

COVID:

We are currently experiencing a COVID surge, and Naughty Bawdy is an intimate event where people may be in close physical contact with one another. That creates an increased opportunity for COVID to spread, so we require all attendees to take a same-day rapid test before attending.

For at-home tests, please write your name and date on the test, take a photo, and be prepared to show it at the door. A limited number of rapid tests will be available onsite for $15, but we strongly encourage you to test before leaving home.

Regardless of your test result, please do not attend if you are experiencing fever, sore throat, respiratory symptoms, or other flu-like symptoms. Thank you for helping us take care of one another and our community.

INCIDENT REPORTING:

We seek to create a space that is very safe and welcoming. Please reach out to a host ASAP if there are any consent violations, or anyone makes you feel uncomfortable. You can also fill out the incident report form
