The sweetness of chocolate, the fire of cayenne-- lust's palette is colorful and includes pleasure, pain, indulgence, torment. Before Valentine's Day, there was the kinky hedonism of Lupercalia. Let's heat up the cold nights of this long winter with shared stories of swoony love and spicy desire.

Our theme for February is "Roses & Thorns", celebrating the full range of eros in all its glory. Will you recount a literal trail of rose petals leading to a candlelit bed? Or what it felt like the first time you were kissed by the sting of the singletail? Get emo with stories of your personal chemical romance, share the endurance of a truly Roman-style marathon, or enchant us with a fairy tale of seduction in a garden.

(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 Baltimore/DC producer and burlesque performer Diva Darling, joined by a panel of local celebrity judges (TBA) who want to be your Valentine.

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. All storytellers will get a little swag bag to reward their courage, and we've got some fabulous storytelling prize packs on tap for our top three tellers, too—you could win a sexy little something to keep the party going at home!

Join us before the show to enjoy light pub fare and sample the decadent cocktail and mocktail menu. Get your copy of Anonymous Sex, the Smut Slam International book edited and signed by Diva.


Tickets: $15 early bird, $20 presale, $25 door
