Hysterical Poetry is a gasp-out-loud participatory performance that puts guests in the centre of the action and gets everybody talking.
A fusion of performance art, poetry, and playful suspense. Hysterical Poetry is a high-impact, immersive experience that turns events into unexpected adventures.
Participants take a seat on our vibrating saddle and (try to) read a carefully selected poem. The vibes keep coming, as long as they keep reading.
We control the vibrations: soft, strong, and everything in between. The dynamic intensity keeps things hilariously unpredictable.
The performance naturally draws spectators who laugh and cheer the guest in the hot seat on. It's a natural ice-breaker and instantly connects the crowd.
The Cowgirl is an award-winning luxury sex machine. Female-designed, she's the upgraded, ergonomic cousin of the 1980s Sybian and (according to the manufacturer) offers pleasure beyond the limits of human touch!
We've taken Hysterical Poetry from the legendary basement of KitKat club, to glittering Amsterdam mansions, to tantra festivals and private gatherings. Everyone is welcome, curious newbies and serious kinksters alike.
We don't just press buttons! We're seasoned facilitators who've spent years creating safe, playful, high-energy environments. We take care of the logistics, safety, hygeine and emotional container.
Michalis has spent decades creating healing spaces at festivals and draws on his massage-therapy background to hold people with grounded care. A proud burner and unapologetic kinkster with a gift for playful mischief, he's also a logistical mastermind and ensures a seamless setup from start to finish.
Lucy is a regular space holder and consent angel, and has guided workshops and intimate gatherings with warmth and intention. By day she's a CEO and yoga teacher; by night, a seeker of seductive words and embodied experiences. She loves curating containers where everyone feels safe, held, and free to play.
"Hysterical Poetry in the kinky basement was beyond wor(l)ds! So many people joined and we had so much fun. Sometimes we couldn't hear the poetry because of all the people laughing or the saddle got too intense. It's unique and Michalis and Lucy are the dream team. Awesome if you wanna create something out of the box—I will definitely book it for my new temples!"
"The atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and expertly held. Every detail is thoughtfully curated for comfort and joy."
"Sensual, sophisticated, and genuinely fun. Hysterical Poetry brings people together in the most unexpected, delightful way."
"Concentrating on the poem while the sensations keep building is far from easy. Being watched in a vulnerable, playful position adds an extra layer of tension; you want to do well, yet you're deliciously distracted at the same time. It's exciting, a little confronting, and definitely memorable!"

Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about reading poetry on a vibrating saddle.
This is not a short blink-and-you'll miss it performance. The entire act lasts around 60—180 minutes, depending on your program. Each poetry reading itself is around 5-10 minutes long, so we typically rotate through 12-30ish guests.
We have a short check-in with each participant prior to their reading, to let them know how to communicate with us during the performance and that they can pause or stop at anytime. We refrain from physically touching guests and we also have a strict no phones and photos policy, to protect guests' privacy.
We always clean and disinfect the saddle in between every reading. We also rotate the silicone attachments so each can be cleaned thoroughly before it is reused.
At most events, Hysterical Poetry is presented fully clothed and with no penetration (using the 'rawhide attachment' - see below). Trust us, this version is already highly entertaining and enjoyable!
However, for more adventurous crowds, we also have a range of penetrative silicone attachments.
Most importantly, we work closely with organizers beforehand to set clear boundaries to determine what is appropriate for the event.
The only requirement is 18+. Otherwise, it's suitable for all bodies, ages, genders and orientations.
Absolutely! We can tailor our outfits, makeup and overall aesthetic, and even the selection of literature and poetry.
All we need is access to a power outlet and a room where normal conversation can be heard. No special technical setup required. We'll bring lighting and props. An area where people can be seated (e.g. with cushions) is extra nice.
Try us! We're down for Hysterical Karaoke, or whatever else you can dream up. Looking for something more original than a stripper? Hysterical Poetry makes for wild and hilarious bachelorette party!
