Since 2016, the first Tuesday of every month finds a loose collection of word people — poets, comedians, rambling raconteurs — mic in hand at Lil Indie’s doing that spoken word thing with one special condition: The words must reflect the events of the day. The resulting entertainment falls somewhere between a poetry slam and a high-school current events oral report.
But in November, the first Tuesday of the month is also, well, you know. So the events of the day are sure to be … rich with performance prompts, shall we say.
Hosts Tod Caviness and Dianne Turgeon Richardson promise, “While most of Orlando is huddled under their couches waiting to see if a convicted sex offender and felon will become (once again) leader of the free world, we’ll be highlighting the absurdity of it all with an all-star lineup of local authors and comedians including Ryan Rivas (Burrow Press), Veronica Smith (Vulgar Geniuses podcast), Larry Fulford (What Do You Want From Us?) and more. We may even round out the night with a visit from a Very Special Guest (her name rhymes with (Shmanna Shmeskamani).”
It will be a very chill and normal night, no doubt! Suuuuuuuper relaxed.
8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, Lil Indie’s, 1036 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, free.
