Hey smarty, wanna party? If you're finding yourself drawn to that professorial pin-up boy, Dr. Stephen Hawking; if you do the Sunday Times crossword in pen, or have impure thoughts about what you could do with a retro-fitted Large Hadron Collider (the "largest Fleshlight™ in the world!"), then this is the evening for you. Bawdy’s doing another info-packed show, and it’s dedicated to size queens like you who salivate at the flash of a MENSA membership card, rather than a massive package. As Sister Roxane Roles likes to say: The hell with yer naughty bits; show us your naked BRAIN!
Bawdy Storytelling- the girl who wants to put her Heidegger in your Derrida - presents an evening of real world Einsteins with big libidos and even bigger IQs. Our handpicked line-up of pervy brainiacs will put down their copy of Kant's "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals," put their pants back on, & spend their Wednesday night telling you true stories that illustrate where a ‘intellect’ and ‘sex drive’ Venn diagram might intersect. Those nerds on "The Big Bang Theory" have no idea what a really big bang is about, do they? Join us on November 12th and let’s celebrate the cerebellum, Bawdy style!
