Don’t bother me with your chocolates, honey!

- In person
An English-language show featuring an explosive mix of amusements, absurdities, activism, slung truths, rhythm and rap, kitschiness, craziness and other subtleties. Add “impure” poetry and shake it all up. Sense of humour recommended. Welcome one and all… and who knows, maybe Cupid will be among the guests!
Once again our talented enchantress Alexis O’Hara will be running the show. To add a little Valentine’s flair, pass on your special requests to her and perhaps she’ll work a little magic…
The evening will be co-produced by Wired on Words and Music, a Canadian spoken-word CD-production company.
Show recorded by CBC Radio One.
