Thank you to everyone who came out for the Glad Day Bookshop fundraiser — WHAT a show!! WHAT an audience!!! And we raised a good chunk of money for Glad Day while having a great time!
Next show is our Halloween special, a fundraiser that helps to keep the usual TST shows free. You’ll hear some excellent ghost, spooky and halloween-related stories. I’ll be dressed as a 90’s pop star. And we’ll have our ever-popular “singalonga Ghostbuster’s Theme tune”!

On Monday July 29th, we’re holding a fundraiser for Glad Day Bookshop, at the Bookshop itself (499 Church St). You get the chance to see five of your favourite queer storytellers from our 11 years of shows come and tell five of your favourite stories! Among them: CBC fave Ted Morris, Rico Rodriguez (telling a story you NEED to hear if you want to know your Toronto queer history), Sally Hakim (whose story is so good I made it the lead story on our channel) and MORE!!!
Glad Day is the oldest queer bookstore in the world (THE! WORLD!!) and is facing eviction. As big fans, we decided we wanted to do something, so we’re running this surprise show as a fundraiser.

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.
