About Lizzie Violet's Cabaret Noir
Lizzie Violets Cabaret Noir is a monthly event that brings you an evening of indie artistry and cabaret. The mistress of ceremonies, Lizzie Violet will introduce cabaret stylings such as poetry, Spoken Word, music, Burlesque, comedy and a variety of other vaudeville style acts. Inspired by Vaudeville of the early 1900s, it will be an evening of pure entertainment.
Each monthly event will have three features that consist of one part poetry spoken word and slam as well, one part music and one part vaudeville burlesque/magic/comedy. A night of frivolity and entertainment for all. Lizzie Violets Cabaret Noir will be the second Sunday of every month at the The Central on Markham Street, from 7 pm to 10 pm. Keeping with the theme of cabarets roots, music will be unplugged, poetry will be edgy and the vaudeville will be sassy!
We will have limited open mic spots for poets, performers and musicians. Sign up starts at 7.
This is a PWYC event. the door suggested price $5 and up
Each show you will be greeted at the door by our our absolutely amazingly dandy and handsome ToPoet.ca! make sure to check out his website and poetry
Featuring:
TOpoet.ca http://topoet.ca fills the gap between form and content where he strives to give an objective presence to imaginary constructions of bourgeois or radical psychology. He embraces the realm of the superficial as a refusal of substance, which is culturally inscribed in heteronormative terms. As a poet, short-story writer & novelist he has hit stages from Sydney, Nova Scotia to San Francisco, California - in Toronto he has performed at HOWL, Cryptic Chatter, Hot-Sauced Words, Poetic Justice, Word Jam, The Art Bar, Word on the Street, Pride, Queer West Fest, Plasticine Poetry & The Beautiful and the Damned.
