Founded by Kelly Smith, Sophie Joans and Esti Joorst in 2019, Raunchy Renditions has sold out shows in Cape Town, Durban and Joburg. Inspired by events like The Moth and Story Party Tour, it is our mission to foster connection and empowerment through telling our stories about a topic that is so often swept under the rug.

Raunchy is guided by the principle, perfectly words in the Ann Voskamp quote:

“Shame dies when stories are told in safe places”

Our mission to do remove the shroud of shame around sex, and promote sex-positivity in South Africa.

Raunchy Renditions was founded in 2019 by Sophie Joans, Esti Strydom and Kelly Smith. Born at Cape Town’s beloved Raptor Room, Raunchy Renditions has sold out shows in Cape Town, Durban and Joburg. Inspired by events like The Moth and Story Party Tour, it is our mission to foster connection and empowerment through telling our stories about a topic that is so often swept under the rug. In 2023, radio presenter and sex-educator, Leah Jazz, came on board as our Joburg liaison. We will be expanding into the realm of podcasts soon…
