Immersive. Literary. Cabaret. 
This Holiday season The Poetry Brothel is bringing back its annual Office Holiday Party! That's right, our poets will be punching in AND spiking the punch this holiday season. We'll even throw the photocopier up on the stage, and if you don't get your ass up there and sing a carol, young man...
We have a featured reader for this one, darlings, the esteemed Ariana Reines! We will also present holiday performances by burlesque beauties Puss N Boots, Munroe Lily, and Holly Bordeaux; house band  The Maltese Falcons; sketchy sketch artist Too Loose aka Gregg Emery; illusionist, Daniel Taylor aka The Magic; mystics, The Erotic Esoteric and Holy Crow, and poets, Finnegan Figleaf, Lux Aeterna, Marz, Persephone James, Tibia, The Morrigan, Minerva May, Tempest Amora, Mahogany Bardot, and Jill, 25. As always, the show will be presided over by your hosts, The Madame, Mister Charley, Lady M, and that rapscallion Tennessee Pink.

ABOUT THE POETRY BROTHEL
Welcome to a unique and interactive poetry event that takes poetry outside classrooms and lecture halls and places it in the lush interiors of a bordello. The Madame presents a rotating cast of poets, each operating within a carefully crafted character, who impart their work in public readings, spontaneous eruptions of poetry, and most distinctly, as purveyors of private poetry readings on beds, chaise lounges and in private rooms. For a small fee, all of the poets are available for these sequestered readings at any time during the event. Of course, any true bordello needs a good cover; ours is an literary cabaret featuring burlesque, live music, vaudeville, aerials, visual art, magic, mysticism, with newly integrated themes, performances and installations at each event. For more information, visit our website, or email info@poetrysocietyny.org with any questions. The Poetry Brothel is brought to you by The Poetry Society of New York.
