Giggle Bottom One Year Anniversary Show

The show concept is simple. Three stand up comedians perform sets, introducing themselves to the audience. Then the kinkster-of-the-month comes out to present to the audience the kink for that show. We will always announce the kink during ticket sales so you know what you’re in for as an audience member!

Then our kinkster and comics will have a deconstructed on-stage negotiation, in the form of a Q & A. Following this each of the comics will have a “scene” with the kinkster. Though some kink involves sex, any pleasure or comics experience will not be inherently sexual pleasure. (And if it is, oops. How fun.)

To close out the show, your host will bring everyone on stage for a moment of collective debriefing, describe initial reactions, and so on.

For a bigger & better show we will have not one but TWO kinks presented on this evening, with a total of FOUR presenters! If you’re familiar with our format, same same but different, we’ll be adding in more scenes, more comedy, as well as an intermission. (Time for you to cruise the crowd or visit the merch table.)

THE KINKS: ROPE TYING & SUSPENSION and HUMAN FURNITURE

THE PRESENTERS: Natalie Rose and Ron Swanson, and Mistress Dama & Jet Black.

Natalie Rose (they/she) is a queer kink educator and lifestyle coach who teaches rope and power exchange with guts, grace, and zero pretense. They’ve been active in the scene since 2013, starting as a rope bottom (then, under the name ShesANatural), evolving into a rope top and performer, and teaching at 30+ events across North America. Their work centers embodied learning, practical technique, and inclusive, affirming education, especially for rope bottoms and those navigating power exchange. Natalie brings over a decade of lived experience, including a thriving 24/7 authority-transfer relationship since 2014. Whether you’re tying, being tied, or building dynamics that last, Natalie offers tools that are rooted, real, and ready for wherever you are in your kink journey.

RON SWANSON (they/them) is a nonbinary butch sadist whose primary kink  interests are rope and sharps. Ron is a graduate of and instructor for Bondage Soup, a 12-month progressive rope education program, and loves tying with people of all different shapes, sizes, and abilities. Ron’s background in the mental health field informs their desire to “hurt not harm” and to create space with others that is as physically, emotionally, and psychologically safe as possible. Ron has been known to switch “for science!” to better understand the experience of those they get to torment. Ron’s topping style is much less regimented or formal than some, and they generally tie in a collaborative and intuitive way, tailoring the experience to each person. 

Jet Black (any pronouns) is a submissive-leaning switch, emotional masochist, and lover of all things role-playing. He’s been interested in aspects of kink for as long as he can remember and joined the kink community about 6 years ago. With his partner Damascena, he loves building casts of characters and exploring all types of D/s and power exchange.

Dama (she/her) is a switchy, cerebral kinkster who plays an ice queen Domme in public and innumerable fun-loving people and things (wicked stepmother, kitten, SexBot 3000, furniture) in her creative explorations with Jet Black. This writer and lover of language’s power has always wanted to take an improv class! She’s excited to see how kink role-play and comedy will hilariously intersect.
