Each month, Bare! brings together storytellers, comedians, sex educators and others to share true tales from their own experiences of sex, desire and romance. With stories as diverse as the people telling them, Bare! opens doors to bedrooms, back seats and dungeons to tell what your mama left out about the birds, bees and in-betweens.
This month, our always daring, sometimes contrite storytellers recall things they shouldn't oughtta done:
Hosted by Jefferson (One Life Take Two, Spill!)
Mike Amato (Above and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls)
Nick Turner
Jimmy Wohl (Get Outta' Here)
Rick Younger (The Today Show)
Sasheer Zamata (School Night)
Musical guest Rob Paravonian
. . . and more! You've got regrets, secrets or happy memories of things you did despite knowing better. Put your name in the hat for a chance to bare all on the Bare! stage.
. . . and still more! One lucky audience member will win a sex toy courtesy of Shag.
