We want your wildest! At Smut Slam, audience members sign up to tell 5-minute, first-person sex stories. For this edition, Fringe artists are the guest judges, awarding sexy prizes to the top 3 tellers at the end of the night. Creator and host Cameryn Moore has a special bucket for your anonymous questions and confessions, and a door prize from njoy toys that’ll knock your socks off. Remember: Smut Slam is queer-friendly, kink-friendly, fat-friendly, poly-friendly, trans-friendly, sex-worker friendly… we’re just REALLY friendly! This is an 18+ ticketed event.
