Better put on your ear muffs, kids, because Ignite Phoenix's naughty sibling is set to return this fall.

Much like its better-known sister event, Ignite Phoenix After Hours invites people from all walks of life to share their experiences, talents, and passions on stage -- only difference being, it encourages them to take it to the adult level. Unlike Ignite Phoenix, which sets a PG-13 limit on its content, After Hours is a no-holds-barred showcase of the burlesque, the grotesque, and everything in between.

Ignite Phoenix After Hours 4 is set to take place at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 14, at The Mint in Scottsdale. But before the evening of taboo talks can begin, organizers are looking for locals who don't mind sharing their secret interests with the public.

Submissions for Ignite Phoenix After Hours are being accepted until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 10. Presentations, which run five minutes and are accompanied by slideshows, can center around nearly any topic, but are generally geared stir to the 21-and-over crowd (i.e. sex, drugs, religion, etc.).

Applications can be submitted online and interested participants and free to use an alias if that makes them more comfortable. For a look at the submission form and past Ignite Phoenix After Hours, check out /www.ignitephoenixafterhours.com.
