As Samhain approaches, the veil between the worldly and ghostly begins to thin in the delicious autumn air. Surrender yourself as The Poetry Brothel NYC immerses you in an evening of spellbinding cabaret.

In the heart of Bushwick, the artist haven House of Yes beckons you to step inside its enchanting walls. Adorned with bewitching fabrics, hypnotic scents, and curious oddities, the atmosphere will leave you spellbound. The stage serves as an altar for spoken word, burlesque, aerial performances, and live music, casting a spell on all who dare to enter.

Indulge your senses with an array of confections that tantalize your palate. Revel in the poetry of renowned wordsmiths, whose verses transcend the physical realm. Fall under the spell of the most celebrated burlesque artists as they call you to pay tribute at their altar. Approach with curiosity as you are lured into a secret room for a ritual cloaked in mystery. Join the wishing circles to fortify the magic of manifestation.

Our Maitre D', Chuckie Sleaze, and Madam Eleanor present a rotating cast of poets who share their work as purveyors of private poetry readings in secret, well-appointed chambers. You may select your poet of choice for tokens at any time during the event.

Consent Is Sexy: Behave with beauty, connect with intention. We expect our patrons and staff to conduct themselves with grace and respect. We are, by and large, a no-contact event -- here to levitate your mind, heart, spirit, and nothing else! Always ask before touching anyone in our House, and report any discomfort to security or staff, Madam, or Maitre D' without delay.

Themed costumes and/or vintage formal wear are encouraged but not required. This event is 21+.

This is a wheelchair accessible event (ask us how!). Our show includes flashing lights, reasonably amplified music, and fog machines.
