The talented tounges of Madame Tallula’s poets offer up an evening of couplets, puns, sonnets, burlesque and general grammatic debauchery.

Press Release Follows

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Poetry Society is pleased to announce the return of The Poetry Brothel: Wilde Pride which will take place on Sunday, June 9th from 6pm-10:00 pm at El Cid located at 4212 W Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake. Summer is around the corner and what better way to embrace the coming heat than to attend our 2nd annual Wilde Pride event. This year we plan to get weird! Themed, masks, silly, sexy, and/or formal wear are encouraged but not required. The event is 21+.

For those who are new to the concept, The Poetry Brothel is an interactive poetry experience set up as a decadent fin de siècle brothel. Poets performing under pseudonyms offer private, one-on-one readings of their original work in candlelit back rooms…for money. The main room presents an immersive literary cabaret that fuses poetry, burlesque, live music, vaudeville, aerials, performance art, visual art, magic, and mysticism. The Poetry Brothel was created in New York City in 2007 by Stephanie Berger and Nicholas Adamski. Now, the troupe has a permanent home in LA, tours nationally, and has sister chapters in cities all over the world.

On June 9th, The Poetry Brothel invites you to enjoy non-stop punnilingus that knows no humility, deep brainal for those who want to push their literary boundaries, and an array of gorgeous talented tongues for the metaphoric tasting.

Don your dapper 19th-century attire and come revel in a night of grammatical debauchery!

When reached for comment, Oscar Wilde said, “There is only one thing in the world worse than not being talked about, and that is not being poemed at The Poetry Brothel.”

Expect even more burlesque performances by Olivia Bellafointaine, live music, and as always, our show will be accompanied by your favorite poetry whores, and of course your hosts, Ach, Suzette and Madam Tallula.

To purchase tickets online, you may visit Eventbrite or thepoetrybrothel.com.

Tickets cost $40 for general admission and $75 for VIP tickets.
