Curio: A Kinky Talent show & Open Mic

As part of Congress After Dark, Curio: A Kinky Talent Show & Open Mic is an inclusive event that celebrates the diverse talent and creativity within our scene & community. This event aims to provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals to showcase their talents & skills, whether through kink performance, music, poetry, comedy, spoken word, performance art, or other forms of expression using a talent show/open mic format!

This isn't about polished performances. We are looking for vulnerability, creativity, curiosity, passion, and enthusiasm. This event is all about providing people with the opportunity to scratch that performance itch in front of a friendly audience.

Don't want to perform? That's great too! We want to make sure we fill the house with a warm and supportive audience - keep your judgemental pants at home. It takes a lot of hit the stage and share something like this, so the more people who come out to support the performers, the better!

How does it work?

Sign up starts at 6:30pm. If you want to perform, show up and put yourself on the list! There will be up to eight (8) slots available and no signing up in advance.

Show starts at 7pm sharp.

Performers will get up to 15 minutes to perform.

How much does it cost?

Admission is $15 per person and space is limited. Tickets can be purchased in advance and at the door (cash only, please).

PLEASE NOTE: We acknowledge that charging an admission fee may be a barrier for some to attend. If this is the case and you would still like to attend, please reach out!

All performers will be reimbursed their admission fee with the remaining funds going towards grassroots, community driven organizations. We will also happily accept additional cash donations at the event!
