Gear up, Perverts—Bawdy Storytelling is getting down and dirty for Folsom Street Fair!

Whether you’re a voyeur, an exhibitionist, or just a story-lover who’s down for a deliciously uncensored night out, Bawdy welcomes you with open arms—and maybe a riding crop. 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.

• Ray Dalton doesn’t just walk into a room—he commands it. With the same intensity he brings to the screen, Ray merges the raw eroticism of a seasoned porn star with the grounded wisdom of a certified life coach. His Mennonite roots gave him a foundation in community and connection, but decades of bold exploration taught him how to turn that into fire, flesh, and unforgettable experiences.

For over 17 years, Ray has been a name—and a body—you can’t forget in the adult entertainment world. But he’s more than just a performer: with 30 years in food service, 25 years producing events, and 30 years of personal development, Ray knows how to feed the body, ignite the spirit, and bring men together in ways that are as sensual as they are transformative.

As a coach, Ray strips down more than just inhibitions—he peels back shame, fear, and doubt, inviting men into the power of their own sexuality. As a producer, he creates spaces where desire and community intertwine, where every moan is matched by a moment of connection, and where every hard edge has its place.

Whether on camera, on stage, or one-on-one, Ray Dalton is a man who lives out loud—bold, unapologetic, and dripping with sexual authenticity. His mission: to f*ck, to feel, to free, and to foster conversations that turn arousal into empowerment.
