Performer Bios:

❤ Trailblazing educator, sexologist, artist, and irritant to banality, Midori founded Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women's Dominance Intensive. She penned the first English instruction book on Shibari titled, "Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage" in 2001, paving the way to the popularity of rope. Dan Savage calls her the "Super Nova of Kink," while others affectionately call her Auntie Midori for her cool, tell-it-like-it-is, funny, reality-based teaching. She is also the author of "Wild Side Sex," "Master Han's Daughter," and "Silk Threads.” She also does Creative Living Coaching and Private Sexological Consultations, and has the BEST Patreon in existence.

❤ Jennie Kay is a consultant, artist, and community leader based in Crockett, California. Originally from Michigan, she spent the first twenty years of her life surrounded by conservative evangelicals, another twenty years in the Burning Man community, and has become a subject matter expert in white people jumping on bandwagons.

Driven by the human need for connection and inclusion, she is a passionate advocate for sustainable community and intentional culture-building. Known for her wit, kindness, and unique approach to life, Jennie Kay is a firm believer that we are all in this together.

THING FOR YOU TO KNOW: Folx, I am terrified to do this. Fact.

❤ Matthew Beld (they/them) is a trans storyteller and writer living in San Francisco, CA. They have performed for shows like Happy Endings, StoryCorps, Literary Speakeasy, About Last Night, and The Racket. They write and teach sketch comedy for the SF troupe Killing My Lobster. And every third Tuesday of the month they co-host the Strut Queer Open Mic in the Castro.

They’re also MCing a trans fundraiser called Spectrum at the end of the month, on February 24 and 25 at Club Fugazi.

Spectrum is a queer variety show that raises money for trans and non-binary human rights. They have performances by aerialists, burlesque dancers, drag royalty, comedians, and more. Performers donate their act and all money raised from ticket sales and a raffle go to a non-profit that supports trans and gender nonconforming folks. Last year they raised over $20,000 for an organization called Southerners on New Ground. This year’s organization is El/La Para Translatinas.

The best way to learn more and buy tickets is going to Spectrum’s Instagram page: spectrum.transbenefit

But what Matthew really wants you to know is they’re just a stupid slut bottom trying to make it in this crazy world.

❤ Green Lion (they/roar) has lived in the Bay Area for 25 years, and has been an avid writer and teller of tales since they learned how to write. Green Lion has one published erotic short story, and one self-published science fiction novel. They discovered the sex-positive and ENM world in the mid-2000s and have been part of such communities ever since. They also like to dance, build community, and come up with mad schemes to subvert dominant paradigms.

You can find Green Lion's essays at https://greenliondevourer.substack.com/

❤ Jefferson Bergey is musically promiscuous. The Oakland-based singer-songwriter, MC, game-show host, and professional vocalist at-large has been writing and performing for Bawdy Storytelling! for ten years. In the realm of comedy and variety shows he’s been seen at Punchline SF, San Jose Improv, SF Sketchfest, Ruckus and Rumpus Revival, and has written custom songs for San Francisco’s MUNI Diaries and Laughs For Life.

As a solo act Bergey has been “negotiating covers” for the past decade as a live-looping solo act at private parties, weddings, corporate events, and music venues all over the greater Bay Area. He’s the namesake of Chef Matt Woods’ Bergey Burger, voted three-times “Best of the Bay”, currently served at Scopo Divino in San Francisco where he recently completed a 250 show residency.

You can see him fronting the Allman Brothers Tribute: Freestone Peaches, Crosseyed & Painless: The Music of Talking Heads, as a virtual game show host for WEVE (The Go Game), and featuring with Jazz Mafia’s Grateful Brass and Fog City Swing. When he isn’t performing, he’s flying all over the west coast and Hawaii to give lively presentations on leading bands on high-pressure events based on a manual he wrote from his colorful experiences as a wedding singer over the last decade.

In 2024 he became obsessed with the music and story of Frank Sinatra and has sold-out multi-show runs in Sacramento, L.A., and Oakland for Pure Soul Presents, Concerts Under the Stars, and Candlelight Concerts. He produces and performs a quarterly song/storytelling show called Sinatra Saloon; A Tale & A Tune.

Thanks to his supporters on Patreon, Bergey is currently recording a sonic-graphic-novel set to songs and narration. His most recent single release, ‘W.Y.D.O.T.D. pt. 1’ (originally written for Bawdy Storytelling) is one of the songs from that gritty story and can be found on your favorite streaming service.. (Listener Discretion Advised!)
