Next Cabaret:
Adventures in Slumberland

PBTO can't wait to travel through Slumberland with you! A place where waking life - and it's rules of continuity of time and place - can be rewritten by poets and performers. A liminal space, where your inner child might choose your cute onesie pyjamas, or a cloud might be made of cotton candy. 

Join us this June for another immersive literary cabaret that will fill you with wonder and submerge your consciousness in whimsy and wit.

Date and location will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

The Poetry Brothel Toronto is a series of shows which support local artists in a variety of ways. Our producer works diligently to curate shows in our immersive cabarets that create a sense of community and intimacy, that bothy entertain our audiences and get our performers - poets, musicians, dancers, and more - paid. Our Poet Roster is built of poets who audition to join our collective and work hard at evolving their writing and their performance skills. Our community events like our poetry club and our open mic nights range from free to attend to minimally priced, because accessibility to continued education is important to us. 

But we need your help! Beyond supporting PBTO by coming to our shows and following us on socials, your donations make a world of difference in our continued ability to produce both our shows and our workshops, clubs, and other gatherings.
