Time to Shine: DIRTY TALK

Time to Shine is a live storytelling and comedy show created by people in the kink, queer, fetish and sex-work communities. This is the tenth Berlin edition, and we’re marking it with a night devoted to the strange, intimate art of dirty talk.

Before you get into someone’s pants, you get into their mind. Dirty talk sits in that space, part fantasy, part confession, part game of nerves. From long-distance JOI and late-night calls to the unexpected things whispered in the dark, it’s one of the oldest tools of desire. Funny, awkward, fearless or a complete disaster, it still gets under the skin.

Each edition takes one theme and explores it through humour, honesty and personal stories. Kink doesn’t have to be the punchline, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be funny.

Come solo, with a partner or with your whole crew. Dress in latex, leather or whatever makes you feel at home, or just come as you are. This is a judgement-free space where desire, power and vulnerability can be talked about without shame. It’s a performance night, not a play party.

Hosted by L’aDios and Terry Saunders, with Violet Beau, Leona Lapresa and more TBA, plus the usual mix of stories, laughs and confessions from the crowd.

Doors 7pm. Show at 8pm. 18+. English.
