In a Nutshell Storytelling is NSFW!
This Friday! Are you coming? (You're not gonna wanna miss this one.)
Hey story friends!
Friday is in three days, and I have one question for you:
Are you coming?
Because if you’ve been thinking about it, and I suspect some of you have, this is me telling you: come. It’s going to be one of those nights you’ll remember.
Can we talk about Dixie De La Tour for a second? Because I want to make sure you understand what it means that she’s coming to Sacramento.
Dixie is the founder of Bawdy Storytelling, aka “The Moth for Pervs,” according to the LA Weekly, and this year marks its 20th anniversary. For two decades, she has created space for people to tell the truth about their bodies, desires, identities, shame, and joy, when almost no one else was doing so. She didn’t just create and produce shows. She built a culture. She changed what was possible to share onstage and in storytelling form. She is, in the storytelling world, genuinely iconic. And one of the warmest humans you’ll ever meet. Go say hi to her after the show. Seriously.
Her story? Well, Dixie is going to take the stage and tell you about the birthday orgy she threw to honor a friend who passed away. It’s the kind of story only Dixie could tell, and she’s gonna tell it to US!
I mean, come on. You HAVE to hear this, right?
We also have three other fabulous tellers with titillating tales: Addy Sakler is gonna tell you about the awakening that came after a lifetime of intimacy that never quite landed. Amber Elektra is going to tell you about a back-page ad and fate stepping in for quality control. And Alex Paez is going to tell you about the lunch that was not a lunch—although there was eating out?—I dunno! You’ll have to come find out yourself!
Four people. Four true stories. One Friday night at The Sofia.
And here’s the thing about this kind of show, the NSFW kind, the bawdy kind, the honest-about-bodies-and-desire-and-ourselves kind: people leave feeling oddly validated and seen, even if the teller’s thing isn’t their thing. It’s kinda life-affirming. It’s definitely magic, like all good storytelling is.
⚠️ Fair warning: this is an adults-only show. Sex will be discussed honestly, bravely, and yes, sometimes explicitly. If that’s not your cup of tea, no hard feelings (Animal stories in July!). But if it IS your cup of tea, or even if you’re just curious, Friday night is calling.
One more thing: tickets are still cheaper in advance than at the door. That gap closes Friday night. Grab yours now and save 20%.

📅 Friday, June 26 | 7pm | The Sofia, Sacramento
Don’t be the person who meant to go!
And finally, I mean this sincerely: shows like this one need an audience to exist. The Sofia is one of Sacramento's great venues, and getting to host a NSFW storytelling show there with Dixie De La Tour headlining is not something we take for granted. If we fill those seats on Friday, we’ll get to do more shows like this one, ones that explore the many twists and turns of being human. If you've ever wanted Sacramento to have more of this kind of night—brave, honest, adult, alive—Friday is how you vote for that. With your presence. In that room.
Come sit with us. You KNOW I can’t wait to see you there in real life, humans!
xoxo, Amy Bee (and her two hot-peppered buddies, Keith and Aaron)
P.S. A birthday orgy, grief, and joy. Three days. Come on. You gotta!
