Dear Colleagues,

It’s time to kick off your sensible shoes and let your hair down—you're cordially invited to The Poetry Brothel LA’s Annual Holiday Office Party!

After a year of hard work and tireless dedication, it's only fitting to celebrate in style, and our team is ready to dazzle you with an unforgettable Festive Flurry of entertainment that will leave you breathless and craving more.

Prepare to be enchanted as Aerial Hoops soar high above, World-Class Burlesque dancers shimmer in twinkling lights, live Musicians serenade your soul, and, of course, our talented poets spin verses that will make your heart swell three sizes under the mistletoe.

This is no ordinary office party. Trade in your mundane workday glasses and practical loafers for the most opulent holiday attire, decked out in reds, greens, silver, and gold. Remember, in our world, “More is More!”

Celebrate the grand finale of our 2023 season with a night of poetic truths so blush-worthy and nakedly real that even our own Brothel staff will be avoiding eye contact for a week!

In this season of Productivity, Progress, and Poetry, join us on the open patio for Tarot readings, poetic souvenirs, live typewriter poetry, and mesmerizing burlesque and musical performances. It’s the most industrious time of the year, and we’re here to make it unforgettable!

Don’t miss out on the most talked-about event of the year. Save the date, and come ready to revel in a night of extraordinary entertainment and camaraderie with your fellow colleagues and friends.

Madam Tallula presents a rotating cast of poets who will share their work in secret, hidden, well-appointed chambers. Avail yourself of a private poetry reading from the poet of your choice for tokens at any time during the event.

What They’re Saying: "Prepare to have your expectations exceeded by The Poetry Brothel." - LA Weekly

In addition to our poets, The Poetry Brothel features a vibrant array of artists and activists who create an ever-evolving, dynamic experience. Our performers span the spectrum of identities—male, female, faeries, witches, aliens, POC, queer, and everything in between.

Consent is Key: Behave with beauty and connect with intention. We are a no-contact event—here to blow your mind and nothing else! Always ask before touching anyone in our House, and report any discomfort to security, staff, or the Madam Herself without delay.

Accessibility: This event is wheelchair accessible (reach out to us for details). Please note that our show includes flashing lights, amplified music, fog machines, and a startling glimpse of your true self.
