DESCRIPTION:TELL is a monthly queer storytelling show hosted and curated by Drae Campbell. It is the longest running event at the Bureau! 11 years and going. Each month there is a different theme and a different line up of queer artists who tell true stories from their lives on a theme. \nThe theme for January 17\, 2026 is My Collection\, featuring storytellers Petra\, Kelli Dunham\, and Stacy Cay. \n\nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required.

Megyn Kelly calls her “disgusting.” Audiences call her “hilarious.” \n  \nKelli Dunham RN BSN is just the type of ex-nun turned polyamorous\, nonbinary nurse comedian storyteller who is ubiquitous on the streets of South Brooklyn. Subscribe to Kelli’s substack\, Hoping Intentionally OR come see her one show only We Were Such A Happy Family on Feb 21 at Caveat. \n  \nPetra is a queer-transfeminine organizer who passionately works to activate their Staten Island community. Coming from a background as a student and revolutionary organizer they are now an organizer for Staten Island 4 Palestine and run a free-borrow library of radical literature called Staten Island Revolution Library. Through work at SI4P and their Library\, they help connect Staten Island like never seen before through a family of militant\, stubborn\, and loving Islanders. \nPetra understands that our struggles as a Queer community are deeply connected to the struggles we see for a Free Palestine\, Venezuela\, and against mounting ICE raids as all our are against the same system of Global Imperialism and Capitalism. Only by drawing these intersectionalities and uniting our struggles in revolutionary passion does Petra believe we can achieve true liberation for our disparate communities. Petra truly believes that through Queer Love alongside the fight for Revolutionary Socialism and a Free Palestine we will achieve our collective liberation.
