Bare! True Stories of Sex, Desire and Romance brings together storytellers, comedians, sex educators and others to share true tales from their own experiences of sex, desire and romance. With stories as diverse as the people telling them, Bare! opens doors to bedrooms, back seats and dungeons to tell what your mama left out about the birds, bees and in-betweens.
Join our intrepid storytellers as they tell tales of discovery:
Hosted by Jefferson (One Life Take Two)

Cassie J. Sneider (The Worst)
Musical guest Jessica Delfino
. . . and you! Put your name in the hat for a chance to bare all on the Bare! stage.

Jefferson is the curator and host of Bare!, monthly in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. A sex educator and writer, Jefferson keeps a pseudonymous blog, One Life, Take Two, that details his life as a parent and pervert. He is a storyteller frequently seen on stages around New York and elsewhere, including The Moth, where he is a StorySlam winner. He is also host of Foreplay! A Sexy Storytelling Open Mic, biweekly in New York.
Hailing from a small town in coastal Maine, Jessica Delfino grew up with the characters from Stephen King’s novels as her neighbors, and thus, today is a quirky, critically acclaimed pop musician who sings songs mostly in the key of strife, usually with a sense of humor to them. Catch her at the annual New York Funny Songs Festival May 29-31.
Charlie Gaeta has been a comedian for over ten years in the city. He has written for the Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, the New York Friars Club Roast and had a sex diary published in New York Magazine.
Kevin T. Phillips is a comedian and storyteller by night and an IT professional by morning and most of the afternoon. Hailing from quaint Spring Hill, Kansas, Kevin builds on his Midwest upbringing and endless fascination with yelling. Kevin can be seen performing across various venues all over the DC/Baltimore area. Kevin also co-produces the Encyclopedia Show DC at the Woolly Mammoth and likes to spend his free time sleeping upright.
Cassie J. Sneider is a cartoonist and the author of the life-changingly hilarious memoir Fine Fine Music. She is the creator of a monthly storytelling series called THE WORST! where writers, musicians and other weirdos tell funny stories about bad dates, roommates, and jobs. She is also the host of live band karaoke at Arlene’s Grocery every Monday night and life partners with a thirty-five pound pug.
