MADx Lineup Fri 14th July 2017

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.


Production

MADx is brought to you by…
MC Seema
KevinK
Laura
and a whole bunch of folks….
