Presented by: Old Pros
Weaving history, comedic storytelling and the wisdom of lived experience, Kaytlin Bailey artfully unpacks the complex, age-old stigma underpinning a status quo designed to keep women in their place. The eye opening message in Whore's Eye View is a compassionate clarion call, a crash course in history, and a game changing roadmap for progress that can be sustained once and for all.
Sex worker rights advocate, comedian and writer Kaytlin Bailey is the Founder & Executive Director of Old Pros, a non-profit media organization creating conditions to change the status of sex workers in society. She hosts The Oldest Profession podcast where each episode focuses on an 'old pro' from history, contextualizing that figure in their own time and connecting their story to the ongoing struggle for sex worker rights. Her first one woman show, Cuntagious, enjoyed sold-out performances.
A globally recognized leader in the sex worker rights movement, Kaytlin Bailey has been quoted in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, New York Post, The Village Voice, The Nation, Reason, and on NBC. She has written op-eds for Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, and Vice and has been invited to speak on Fox Business, Sirius XM, at Yale Law School, Penn University, and UCLA. Kaytlin Bailey’s views are backed by Amnesty International, The World Health Organization, Human Rights Watch and UNAids, who all agree that the decriminalization of sex work is the only policy that reduces violence.
"Bailey’s terrific writing and comic delivery made this review engaging, and her reflections upon connections between history and her own identity — including awareness of her privileges — elevate Whore’s Eye View." - Broad Street Review
