Our next upcoming show will be Mon May 27th @ The Garrison, Dundas St West @ Ossington Ave!!
This is a FREE show, so just show up and enjoy!!
While we frequently have people who’ve never been on stage in their lives before, this month we have two Toronto celebrities in our midst: everyone’s favourite CBC host Ali Hassan, and Allyson McOuat, whose essay in the New York Times‘ Modern Love section got made into a TV show, and who’s just released an INCREDIBLE memoir (The Call Is Coming From Inside The House) that is getting rave reviews everywhere from Chicago Review of Books to Autostraddle to the Toronto Star (who names it one of their top 20 books to watch out for). In addition, we have a beautiful coming of age story from Tyvaughn Holness, music and memoir from Cyrus: A Brown Man With A Yellow Guitar, and our performer is Micha Happie Edwards, a person I once saw read out a list of people’s names in a register for a bus journey and it was one of the most engaging and entertaining performance pieces I’ve ever seen — Micha is THAT good.
Here are all the details!
**The Garrison is wheelchair accessible, including washrooms**
Doors open 6.45pm, stories start 7.30pm sharp.

The show is a really lovely night, friendly and warm. There is a 20-minute interval, but quite a few people come on their own with a book or something, so if you fancy doing that, you won’t be the only one.
If you want to come early and grab some food, The Lakeview diner (est 1932) is a few steps away, with the best shakes and sweet potato fries in Toronto.
