HEY, YOU COOL CATS!

the legacy of old jazz mingling live sessions and DJ-sets.

We want everyone to have fun, dancers and musicians alike
with a stage open for early Jazz, Swing, RnB, and other fun styles to dance to
with a focus on Balboa since we are operating with Bellmer Balboa.

The jam will be run by members of the Syncopation Society
to ensure that the party flows, allowing everyone to dance,
or to simply sit back and enjoy the music.

Generous donations for the band and dj
are highly appreciated and expected.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
7-8 pm: save your seat, enjoy our reading lounge, grab your drink
8-10:30pm: Smut Slam, in the old-fashioned way (with one short intermission)
10:30-whenever: stay for a little longer, we don't have to worry about neighbors here!

Created and hosted by professional perv Cameryn Moore, the Smut Slam features real-life, first-person sex stories from the audience, stories from guests and sometimes even celebrity judges, and also readings from THE FUCKBUCKET, a convenient and funnily named receptacle for all your anonymous questions and confessions!

IMPORTANT: Smut Slam is queer-friendly, kink- AND vanilla-friendly, fat-friendly, sex worker-friendly, virgin-friendly, polyamory-friendly, we're really, really friendly. We welcome people with all types and amounts of sexual experiences. We DO NOT welcome stories or fuckbuckets involving racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other kind of discrimination, or nonconsensual objectification or fetishization. All activities discussed must be CONSENSUAL.

SMUT SLAM is CREATED by Cameryn Moore, an award-winning playwright/performer, sex activist and educator, and former phone sex operator. When not performing, riding the train, or actually having sex herself, Cameryn writes Sidewalk Smut: custom type-written erotica as street performance and literary art.

WE PRACTICE SAFER SMUT! DO NOT ATTEND if you are feeling poorly! There will be more slams!
*** As of this slam, Smut Slam Berlin has removed our mask requirement, but we still encourage mask use indoors. This remains one of the best ways to protect yourself against getting sick from COVID or any of the other airborne diseases going around.
*** TESTING NOTICE: Please bring same-day negative test results from a test center, or come early to take a self-test at the door (for €2, thank you!). We will have Smutterlings on hand to assist. IF YOU TEST POSITIVE, we will have to send you home.
** As always, we are closely watching current COVID-19 rates, and as things change, one way or the other, we may loosen or tighten our pandemic protocols. We will never surprise you with changes, but tell you in advance, so you can make informed decisions. Smut Slam keeps both comfort and well-being in mind, for the community!

PLEASE NOTE: We have a strong Code of Conduct for everyone at a slam. We try very hard to run the event accordingly, and we want attendees to actually pay attention so you can help us create this safer space: https://docs.google.com/.../120FTNtC47HhNIEP91TXp.../edit... Please do take a moment to read this statement, thank you!

ACCESSIBILITY: The venue is wheelchair accessible; we are checking about accessibility of toilets.
