The Poetry Society is pleased to announce the return of The Poetry Brothel: Holiday Office Party, which will take place on Sunday, December 15th at El Cid located at 4212 W Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake. The patio opens at 6pm and the show runs from 7pm-10pm. Themed, holiday, vintage, or formal wear are encouraged but not required. The event is 21+.

On December 15th The Poetry Brothel hosts it’s 2nd annual Holiday Office Party! You simply must attend, as our series of shows goes out with a Bang! Our staff is in a Festive Flurry, ready to fly over you on Aerial Hoop, deck your halls with our World-Class Burlesque, grow your heart three sizes with live music, and poem you deeply under the mistletoe. Trade in pointy workaday glasses and practical loafers for reds and greens, or silver and gold, party attire. Eat tapas, drink cocktails, and be merry with us, your faithful source of poetry services for all these years. Productivity! Progress! Poetry! It’s the most industrious time of the year!

Expect even more burlesque performances by Jake Dupree and Frankie Tan, and live music by Blue Wagon Trio and Joseph of Windows to Sky. As always, both shows will be accompanied by your favorite poetry whores, and of course your hosts, Ach, Suzette and Madam Tallula.

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.
