KINK IN THE TALE: LIVE STORYTELLING FOR GROWN-UPS

Six storytellers tell their true (enough) sex stories in this sell-out event. Get ready to laugh, gasp, blush and cry all at the same time with sex-positive, inclusive stories told live on stage. Kink the Tale is play as part of the 2025 Newcastle Writer's Festival on April 5.

Six storytellers tell their true (enough) sex stories in this sell-out event. Get ready to laugh, gasp, blush and cry all at the same time with sex-positive, inclusive stories told live on stage.

You’ll hear from award-winning authors Kris Kneen (Fat Girl Dancing) and Dylin Hardcastle (A Language of Limbs), sexologist Hilary Caldwell (Slutdom: Reclaiming shame-free sexuality), artist, author and performer Helen Hopcroft (The Nights), the unforgettable Dan McIvor, and your sexually intrepid, ever irreverent host, Donné Restom.

If you’re a fan of events like Queerstories, Story Club, or Erotic Fan Fiction, you’ll love this: it’s storytime done kinky. Don’t bring the children and remember, respect, consent, non-judgment and an open heart will make you a better lover — and the best kind of listener.
