The MADx Collective brings you…
[more details coming soon.. ]
MC Seema
Mistress of Ceremonies, MC Seema.
Seema is not a Princess.
She doesn’t need saving.
She is a Queen.
She’s got this shit handled.
The Queen 💎
Jason Finkelstein
Jason only recently made his comedy debut. He likes to play the music when he’s not driving Senior Citizens to doctor’s appointments.
Now with 40 years of life experience under his belt he’s ready to share his unique take on stuff while standing up…
Jenny
Jenny enjoys making people have litgasms with her writing and recommends psychic protection for safer exposure and will be telling a new story called: “Story”.
The.JULIEST.1
JULIE – She’s got nothing queeny or halloweeny but she is the queen of fucking everything. The.Juliest.1 will perform her original piece called ‘Collective Responsibility’ in response to the question: ‘what does decolonize your mind mean to you’?
TOSHIO
Toshio works as a cog in a highly industrial machine. He seeks respite and escape through the filling of an arcane notebook and the use of an old-fashioned font slate. Once in a while he travels through portals and somehow finds his way back without anyone noticing.
WonderBloke n SuperDave
Aiming to be the best thing since sliced bread might not seem like setting the bar high but it can make for a life of some pretty good toast.
A wee glimpse on life viewed from inside the bread-bin, peering out through twin-lensed, white-sliced-bread-ness at a whole world of weird.

and a whole bunch of other folks including you if you come….
We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Métis, and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.
The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
This territory is also covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. Today, the meeting place of Toronto (from the Haudenosaunee word Tkaronto) is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to bring together this gathering here.
Invitation
We would like to invite you to a conversation in a circle around the question:
Q. What does the phrase DECOLONIZE YOUR MIND mean to you ?
We hope to make space to hear many voices, and we hope you will join us in making space to hear first from those whose peoples were here first…
This event is brought to you by MADx collective, a small group of friends who come together as people Indigenous to Turtle Island, and also as newcomers from many lands.
We don’t have answers but we do have lots of questions and we think its important and time to make spaces together in which we can speak, be heard and hear each other.
There will be no formal speeches or presentations but if you have something important you want to say and you want to have heard, let us know and ask for a slot, we’ll do our best to make space.
The MADx Collective brings you…
MC Seema
Mistress of Ceremonies, MC Seema.
Mistress Seema likes to be pleased:
Happy Seema = Happy MADx.
Just so you know.
Jenny
Regardless of your opinions about the quality of Jenny’s writing, yelling “don’t quit your day job” at her is no use since that ship has already sailed.
Jenny will bring some good old sh#t and some stonk-honkin’ new sh#t.
Richard Sitosky
Richard reckons owning your shit means grabbing life by the knards and not letting the bastards grind you down, and will explore the principle that success is the best revenge – or, when life hands you lemons, make a gin and tonic!
Mad poet from the hick town of Owen Sound, where masculinity is in inverse proportion to the size of your truck.
And if you buy a copy of his CD he might just be able to make the bus fare to get home.
Asante
Asante loves loves MADx – because he gets to hold the mic – which keeps his hands busy.
Asante will be bringing new material, and a surprise for MC Seema…
Follow him on Twitter… @AsanteV
Fan Wu
Fan Wu is a writer and unapologetic fantasist living in Toronto.
Tim n Ben
One year ago Tim took to the MADx stage and did the Mad Pride Rant: show up, free hugs, food. Last MADx Ben told stories about vampires and friends. This time they’re back, and together, as some kinda mad rantin’ dancin’ double act with a bite.
K for Kevin
K always found it curious that people with x in their name seemed cool.
He doesn’t – so he isn’t. But he does have a while head full of “muppets” and they can be.
