(4)

We create a space for stories and artistic expression about sexuality and the human experience. In talking about sex and sexuality, we know touchy subjects that make people uncomfortable will arise. Just a reminder that BedPost Confessions stresses the importance of artistic expression and dialogue. We strive for our show to spark a conversation between friends and lovers about sexual expression a

nd that conversation can take many forms….after the show, on our blog, or at our page. We don’t want to filter the fantasy, but we do want to talk about everything that comes after it. We know these conversations can be hard, but we have faith in all of our abilities to be vulnerable, be brave, and to make those connections. To keep the conversation going among BedPosties we started a discussion group on our page. Also, it should also be noted that if you ever feel that a performance has crossed the line, please email us at [email protected]. Any concerns will be addressed by the BedPost producers.

Our Story

When s*x bloggers Julie Gillis and Sadie Smythe met s*x podcaster Mia Martina in the fall of 2010, they envisioned a new kind of show for the Capitol of Live Music: one that explores s*x and s*xuality through lenses of humor and vulnerability (without sparing any racy details). That show is BedPost Confessions, which merges entertainment, ethics, and education.

The title was fitting, since it was the confessions—written and submitted at each show by anonymous audience members, then read by the producers—that stole the show and the audience’s heart. If the confessions are the heart of each show, then the featured performers are the soul. At BedPost, we hear from the hilarious, heart-wrenching, and titillating souls of standup comedians, musicians, magicians, memoirists, academics, s*x educators, and storytellers.

The featured performances range as widely as the confessions. Well-known writers and comics have graced the BedPost stage—including Rachel Kramer Bussell, Giulia Rozzi, Dana Rossi, Selena Coppock, Brooke Van Poppelen, Holly Lorka, Jay Byrd, Ebony Stewart, Wayne Allen Brenner, Adam Sultan, Mo Daviau, Andy Campbell, and Daniel Webb—but most of our storytellers are ordinary people sharing extraordinary moments.

As the show has grown, so has a community, of folks questioned and questioning, out and outcast, curious and listless and wanting to share the power of storytelling and confessing. In 2015, Julie, Mia, and Sadie created (un)Spoken for stories that, though harder to share, offer catharsis and emotional justice in the telling. No topic, from birth to death and everything in between, is off-limits for these courageous storytellers, resulting in a night of humor, poignancy, daring, and, above all, honesty.
