The Smut Slam features real-life, first-person sex stories from the audience, stories from guests and sometimes even celebrity judges, and also readings from THE FUCKBUCKET, a convenient and funnily named receptacle for all your anonymous questions and confessions!

IMPORTANT: Smut Slam is queer-friendly, kink- AND vanilla-friendly, fat-friendly, sex worker-friendly, virgin-friendly, polyamory-friendly, we're really, really friendly. We welcome people with all types and amounts of sexual experiences. We DO NOT welcome stories or fuckbuckets involving racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other kind of discrimination, or nonconsensual objectification or fetishization. All activities discussed must be CONSENSUAL.

SMUT SLAM is CREATED by Cameryn Moore, an award-winning playwright/performer, sex activist and educator, and former phone sex operator. When not performing, riding the train, or actually having sex herself, Cameryn writes Sidewalk Smut: custom type-written erotica as street performance and literary art.

WE PRACTICE SAFER SMUT! DO NOT ATTEND if you are feeling poorly! There will be more slams!

*** We encourage mask use indoors (e.g. in the toilets at Villa Kuriosum). This remains one of the best ways to protect yourself against getting sick from COVID or any of the other airborne diseases going around.

*** For the outdoor slams this year we will once again be lifting our testing protocol. We still encourage you to test regularly, especially if you are going to crowded outdoor festivals or indoor events.

** As always, we are closely watching current COVID-19 rates, and as things change, one way or the other, we may loosen or tighten our pandemic protocols. We will never surprise you with changes, but tell you in advance, so you can make informed decisions. Smut Slam keeps both comfort and well-being in mind, for the community!

PLEASE NOTE: We have a strong Code of Conduct for everyone at a slam. We try very hard to run the event accordingly, and we want attendees to actually pay attention so you can help us create this safer space: https://docs.google.com/document/d/120FTNtC47HhNIEP91TXpUT21mwsDCryMsRhAj74nJjs/edit?usp=sharing Please do take a moment to read this statement, thank you!

ACCESSIBILITY: The venue space is wheelchair accessible, as is the outdoor compost toilet. Please be aware, however, that the ground is uneven.

ANIMAL POLICY: This venue does not permit dogs on the property, sorry!
