Podcasts about curious comedy theater

In this episode, we dive into the hilarious and awkward world of Gloryhole etiquette with professional Game Master Jeffrey Allen Hayes. New to the world of anonymous sex, Jeffrey finds himself perplexed by an invite on the Scruff app. As he navigates the uncharted territory of Gloryholes, he wonders: Do you RSVP? Should you bring baked goods? And what exactly are the rules for touching? Join us as we explore the do's and don'ts of this mysterious and unconventional experience as Jeffrey teaches us how to connect, despite barriers (Really, there's a barrier there between them).   Song: ‘Accept My Shaft' (Ninja Sex Party)   About the Storyteller:   Jeffrey Allen Hayes has won Best of Bawdy multiple times. He holds an MA in Drama Therapy and works as a professional game master, facilitating games like Dungeons and Dragons with a focus on emotional growth and healing.

My God, that Leatherman is so hot - but why is he limping? In this vintage 70's story, Leather & Kink Legend Race Bannon take you on a private tour of his first Gay Bathhouse, and this story is a doozy! Join us as we venture into Man's Country, a private membership gay men's club featuring 3 stories of wild adventure, including a theater, gym, restaurant, dance hall, sex shop, an orgy room, lockers, private suites for on-premises sex, and of course, its famous whirlpool and baths. In this story, 19 year old Race meets an muscular, smooth older man in leather vest and chaps and soon they're playing alone, surrounded by toys, gear and restraints. Leather & Kink dynamics are important - and yet sometimes, “the fucking is the thing,” isn't it? #TrimYourToenails #TalentedHole   Song: ‘I wanna be your Slave' (Maneskin)   About the Storyteller:   Race Bannon is a Leather & Kink ICON - he's an organizer, writer, publisher, educator, commentator, leader, speaker, and activist in the LGBTQ, leather/kink, polyamory, and HIV/STI prevention realms since 1973.

Did you know that there's an enclave of Bawdy SuperFans in Nashville, Tennessee? This episode is a Behind-The-Scenes story, the story behind the stories, if you will. For those who love the Dixie Ramble, get ready for a Puppet and Clown and Music Video filled birthday party (spoiler alert: wemay have broken the Birthday curse). Plus, the story of 2 talented Nashville musicians who were inspired to write sex-positive songs after listening to Every.Single.Episode of the Bawdy Storytelling podcast. Nashville was definitely a highlight of my recent Cross Country to East Coast Tour, and finally, you too can hear a custom song written just for Bawdy. #ILoveCustomSongs   Song: ‘Bawdy, if you're feelin' Naughty' (Wet Bread)   About our Songwriters:   Melody Walker and Lizzy Ross are both celebrated songwriters in the indie folk and Americana scene who decided they had far hornier songs to write than their previous mainstream projects would allow for. They had spent so many years not wanting to seem like “those kind of bisexuals”: you know, the lusty, insatiable, wanton kind of women who would start a band just to advertise their goods to a captive audience of other certified sluts and poly queerdos. But when Melody turned Lizzy onto her favorite podcast Bawdy Storytelling and then they found out Dixie was coming to Nashville, it was all over for their good reputation. They decided to risk it all to debut their new duo WET BREAD.    Learn more about BERTHA (Melody Walker's Grateful Drag cover band) at https://www.gratefuldrag.com/ Or https://www.melodywalker.com/bertha   Instagram: Follow Melody Walker at https://www.instagram.com/melodywritessongs   And Lizzie Ross is at https://www.instagram.com/lizzyross/   Episode links:   Bawdy is coming to Portland, Oregon!   PORTLAND, OREGON:  Bawdy Storytelling is coming to Portland for a 2 show night!  Tickets now available for Friday, June 21st, and they're selling fast.

Today we officially kick off Season 2 with the very special Stacey Hallal. Stacey is the founder and artistic director of Curious Comedy Theater in Portland, Oregon, and has been performing, teaching, and directing improv for over 20 years.  She's trained and performed at Second City, iO, Annoyance, and ComedySportz in Chicago, and has performed and taught improv and sketch comedy at over 100 festivals across North America.  Stacey is also the creator of her very popular improvised show called Ruby Rocket Private Detective, an incredibly inventive and amazing show which she's performed with many other great performers, like Maribeth Monroe, Stephanie Weir, Amber Nash, and Colin Mochrie.

This week, on State of Wonder: a multi-city birthday party for Oregon’s milestone in silent film history, Buster Keaton’s "The General," with a brand new live score; moments of reckoning as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival responds to threats against black actors, and opens up about dealing with resistance to its equity work; and Erin McKeown drops in to bend your mind, taking gospel music into the bathroom stall.Love It Or Loath It - Portland Newest High-Rise: The YardThe new chocolate-brown high-rise building at the east end of the Burnside bridge has received a lot of attention from Portlanders, from those who think its a daring modern style to those who call it the Death Star and the Borg and think it represents all that's wrong about Portland growth. Our columnist-in-residence, Randy Gragg, talked with the building's architect Jeff Kovel of Skylab Architecture about the design of the building, factors that went into why it looks the way it does, and what sets it apart.Erin McKeown Takes Prayer into the Bathroom with the Queer GospelErin McKeown got her start in the New England folk scene, but she’s since grown into a genre dancer of the highest order, gliding from folk to big band to gospel without straining her crystal clear voice. But even for an artist who regularly tackles politics and social justice, something feels particularly urgent about the six songs that make up her first studio album in three years, the EP “According to Us.” She released its first single, “The Queer Gospel,” just days after the Orlando shooting at the Pulse Nightclub. The Hollywood Theatre Gives Buster Keaton's Silent Film "The General" a New Score for Its 90th BirthdayFilmed in Cottage Grove, Oregon, Buster Keaton’s 1926 silent film “The General” is considered one of the greatest movies of all time. The Hollywood Theatre, which is also celebrating its 90th anniversary, decided to throw a co-birthday party by commissioning an original score from the well-known Oregon composer Mark Orton, who has soundtracked everything from "Nebraska" to Ken Burns' "The Roosevelts" and episodes of "This American Life."Orton and a group of talented musicians will take the film and live score on a week tour through Oregon. Converge 45 Brings the Art Crowd to PortlandLast weekend, collectors en route to the Seattle art fair were invited to come south to Oregon for a few days of art, sun and socializing by a new event called Converge 45. We talked with the organizer and gallerist Elizabeth Leach about the event that steered collectors and art connoisseurs toward exhibitions and artist talks by local and international artists. Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Ashland Community Unite after Racist ThreatsThe community of Ashland and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival are coming together after two African American actors became the recent targets of racist comments and death threats. Nothing to Laugh About: Curious Comedy Theater Teams Up with the Hillsboro PoliceAfter Hillsboro’s police department decided to try something new earlier this year by working with improv performers from Portland's Curious Comedy Theater to improve the quality of its training, tensions between police and the community have only continued to escalate around the country.

Stacey Hallal, comedienne and leader of the Curious Comedy Theater, told a story of a very ugly man (inside and out) teaching her to love herself (inside and out) at SuperThank's Natural Selection live storytelling event on February 9th 2016, at EastBurn in Portland, Oregon.   Music by Podington Bear: freemusicarchive.org/music/podington_bear

The arts news is coming in size XL this week.Glass HousesIn Southeast Portland, residents continue to reel from news that they've been exposed to unhealthy levels of heavy metals in the air. As we reported last week, environmental regulators admitted they didn't know how much cadmium and arsenic were coming out of the Bullseye Glass facility. That is, until experimental testing using moss revealed this pollution hot spot. A lot of people have been asking how environmental rules allowed these pollutants to go undetected for years. EarthFix reporter Cassandra Profita looked into this, and into how the glass businesses are responding.Is Law Enforcement: A Laughing Matter? 5:42Hillsboro's Police Department is trying something new to improve the quality of its training.: officers are working with improv performers from Portland's Curious Comedy Theater. The Curious team usually goes for laughs, but there's nothing even remotely funny about the scenes they were acting out at the police training facility in Hillsboro recently.Portland Candidates on the Arts - 12:42We've got a new page up charting where the mayoral and city council candidates stand on arts and culture issues — and it’s pretty revealing. This week, we introduce you to several more of the people seeking elected office in Portland: Fred Stewart, Chloe Eudaly, and Sean Davis.Filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky: Blindness in Nepal and the Slender Man - 20:56Irene Taylor Brodsky has made a number of award-winning documentaries ranging from "Hear and Now," which followed her deaf parents as they heard for the first time with cochlear implants, to "Saving Pelican 895," which tracked the rescue of a single pelican from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Now, Brodsky has two films coming out in quick succession. The first, ‘Open Your Eyes,’ is about a blind Nepali couple who see for the first time after unexpected cataract treatment. It screens on Sunday at the Portland International Film Festival. The second, "Beware the Slender Man," takes an unblinking look at the recent case where two 12-year-old girls tried to murder their friend to impress a mysterious internet figure known as the Slender Man.Samantha Wall Wins the Contemporary NW Art Awards - 32:07Last week, the Portland Art Museum announced the top honor of the 2016 Contemporary Northwest Art Awards, the Arlene Schnitzer prize. The winner is a young artist who’s quickly rising to the top of the Portland art scene: Samantha Wall. The award comes with a cool $10,000 check and an exhibition at the art museum this fall. OPB’s Kelsey Wallace had a story on Oregon Art Beat last year about Wall’s unique background and artistic practice.Oregon Ballet Theatre: Choreographers James Canfield and Nicolo Fonte - 37:42James Canfield founded Oregon Ballet Theater in 1989. One of the first ballets he choreographed for the nascent company was "Romeo and Juliet," to the famous score by Sergei Prokofiev. Canfield returned this season to remount the ballet for the first time in more than 15 years, running Feb. 27–Mar. 5. At the same time he was working with the dancers, choreographer Nicolo Fonte was starting rehearsals for "Beautiful Decay," which opens in April. It’s a meditation on life and aging that pairs OBT dancers with older Portland dancers. We sit down with both choreographers to discuss their shared attractions to the darker themes in life.Classical-Fused Hip-Hop with Black Violin - 47:01The Florida-based duo Black Violin consists of two classically-trained musicians who are pushing the boundaries on what can be done with the instruments. NPR’s Lindsay Totty caught up with the duo to discuss their latest release, "Stereotypes," and to find out how they’re defying them. The duo plays the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Feb. 24.
