Imperial Panda: Erotic Fan Fiction and Ghost Stories

Overview

My first thought here is, why not erotic fan ghost stories? Why not put Albert Einstein in the middle of a sweaty flesh muffin with Grace Kelly and Biggie Smalls? I want to hear stories told about Cleopatra taking it mummy style (that means being wrapped up and covered in salt for thousands of years, FYI) at the hands of Burke, while Wills is getting nailed by Martin Luther. And what about the basement? JUST DON'T GO INTO THE BASEMENT!

But for the time being, you will all have to be satisfied with these two events existing as separate sessions of some of the funniest and scariest spoken fiction in town. Hosted by the Imperial Panda and Sydney Writers' Festival, Erotic Fan Fiction and Ghost Stories gathers up a clutch of Sydney's best writers and performers to deliver the seedy antics of celebrities, or the ghoulish moans of sinister spooks. Or both, dammit.

Come hear Charlie Garber, Virginia Gay, Ewen Leslie and Eddie Sharpe spin sauce through the fictive legs of the famous, then chill out before Nick Coyle, Claudia O'Doherty and others stab you in the heart with a cold blade of fear. No money back for dying of either lust or fright — both of these events are free.
