And this time, we’re flying in infamous Canadian Comedian Shirley Gnome as our Musical Guest! Join legendary host Dixie De La Tour for a no-holes-barred night of true stories that celebrates the wild, the wicked, and the wonderfully quirky. Leather? Check. Power dynamics? Always. Fisting, flogging, genderfuckery, public play, pup hoods, and that one time with the fire cupping drag queen? You’ll hear it all—told live and raw by real people who have actually lived it. 💋 One stage. One mic. True stories that’ll change how you think about Sex and Kink. Expect stories that are kinky, filthy, heartfelt, hilarious—and 100% real. Bawdy’s stage is where the most unconventional parts of ourselves are celebrated, not censored. And for Folsom, we’re turning the dial all the way up to “consensual chaos.” 💥 Come revel in the messy, magical truth of queer sex, leather love, and everything that your vanilla friends think you made up, but is absolutely true. 🎤 Come find out why Bawdy has been filling rooms (and hearts) for nearly 20 years. Bawdy is Storytelling... with a Climax. Performers include: • Shirley Gnome is "The Queen troubadour of intelligent black-comic sex balladry” - The Edmonton Journal (CAN). She sings songs about how we mash junk and try to love each other. From the west coast of Canada comes this multi-award winning cabaret musician, whose all original music is hilarious, uncensored, honest, subversive, irreverent, witty, empowering, and taboo. Her clever lyrics go down smooth with her gorgeous vocals, and her charm will disarm you through topics both provocative and silly. With genres as wide ranging as country, folk, rock, EDM, electro pop and r&b, her versatility as a musician and songwriter lends itself to her hilarious sensibility. Her one-woman cabaret shows have wowed audiences and critics alike around the world, with sell out shows across Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. She’s appeared at JFL Northwest, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival and CBC’s The Debaters. She is signed with Canada's largest independent music label (604 Records) with Comedy Here Often. Her album Decoxification was nominated for a Juno Award for Comedy Album of the Year 2021. Her latest release Live, Bare and Natural was released on March 27th, 2025.
