We’re hooking up with queer screen culture magazine Sissy Screens for a night of smutty storytelling.

Join a line-up of LGBTQIA+ writers, performers and comedians as they put a queer spin on fan fiction inspired by goddesses of the screen. From bisexual beaus on the boob tube to sapphic sirens of the silver screen, SMUT: Goddess Edition will strip-mine popular media representations of women to expose the queerness bubbling beneath.

Hosted by comedian and presenter Annie Louey (China Tonight), the event will feature sultry readings by comedians Bronwyn Kuss, Grace Zhang, Jordan Barr, writer and Sissy Screens Editor Tali Polichtuk and cultural critic Vyshnavee Wijekumar; performances by D Flowers and more to be announced.
