Kinky History Live - The Eggplant Tour

Award-winning writer, creative and sex historian Esmé Louise James. . . Best known as the creator of 'Kinky History'. . . Is taking the 'Eggplant' tour on the road.

Esmé has more than three million followers on social media. She's delivered education with a side of frivolity, to the masses – with 'Kinky History' spawning a global, best-selling book and a chart-topping podcast series.

Esmé is a TEDx speaker, appears in the Top 30 Emerging Writers (SBS) list, is the winner of the University Of Melbourne Rising Star Alumni Award, and a recipient of Screen Australia's Every Voice initiative.

In 2024, Esmé created 'Let's Get Explicit', an initiative inspired by 'Calendar Girls' – featuring some of the country's most prominent, influential voices speaking out about the growing epidemic of violence against women. The initiative calls for practical action.

"Welcome to history class as you've never seen it before," Esmé says of the upcoming 'Eggplant' tour.

"The naughtiest stories from the past are about to be brought to life with a little cabaret flair, a lot of laughs, and some very egg-citing surprises to keep you blushing."
