MADx Presents…

NIGHTMARE Before…

[Whatever gives you “the willies…” ]

Fri 22 Nov 2019
9pm to 11pm ish

@ The Imperial Pub
Downstairs Bar
Room At The Back

Be there, eh?
-or be somewhere else..

What is MADx?

MADx is a performance night – all kinds of performance.

Stand-Up | Short Story | Song | Poetry | Stuff not beginning with S or P

MADx is about finding our voice, witnessing each other as we do-
and doing it in a generous way that doesn’t rely on using whatever power we have to put others down, or telling others who and how to be.

We welcome all performers, especially new and first-time performers..
We offer a kind and generous community audience.
[And a free MADx button.]

If you want to perform, drop us a line, either via the “Pitch us” page or email us via the contact page.

MADx: its a bit mad and it has an x in it.

Gert Big, Yuge thanks to Sammie and everyone at The Imperial Pub for their support, its a big part of what makes MADx work.

Lineup

Alex Arena
I have been singing since I was a child and composing music and writing for 6 years now. I love exploring many different themes, and usually sing about life, love, and bringing the awareness of stopping the emotional hurt from self-infliction or by others. I am always open collaborations, be it pop, EDM, acoustic or rock.

Toronto

Show starts 8:30 – ish.

Note: The “door” would like it to be known that they don’t mind too much if you use that label but asks you that you do respect their right to self-identify as “curtain” and rarely if ever as “entry system”.

Stand-up | Sorytelling | Song | Silliness | Stuff not beginning with S

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.

Production

MADx is brought to you by…
MC Seema
KevinK
LauraL
and a whole bunch of other folks including you if you come….
