A Catalyst for Change
This week’s edition of the Adult Site Broker Talk podcast showcases an influential guest: Kaytlin Bailey, a writer, comedian, performer, and a leading figure in the movement for sex worker rights.
Bailey is the Founder and Executive Director of Old Pros, a nonprofit organization committed to advocating for sex worker rights through storytelling, education, and humor. She also hosts The Oldest Profession Podcast, which reinterprets historical narratives from the perspective of sex work.
A Humorous Journey Through History
Currently, Bailey is on tour with her live show “The Oldest Profession,” delivering a dynamic and comedic exploration of 10,000 years of history through the eyes of a sex worker. In 2024 alone, she performed in 25 cities across 10 countries, reaching diverse audiences worldwide.
Her innovative style merges stand-up comedy with historical narrative, demonstrating that advocacy can be both enlightening and entertaining.
The Path to Advocacy
Bailey’s commitment to advocating for sex worker rights intensified during her two-year tenure as communications director for Decriminalize Sex Work. It was there that she recognized that achieving substantive policy change necessitated altering public narratives surrounding sex work.
This insight led her to establish Old Pros in 2020—a nonprofit utilizing history and humor to engage mainstream audiences and shift public sentiment toward the decriminalization and acceptance of sex workers.
“We wouldn’t achieve effective policy until we transformed the stories,” Bailey has articulated regarding her mission.
