The Nightingale is an offbeat Edmonton-based spoken word series that is sponsored by The Syndicate of Underground Poets (SUP).

You are all cordially invited to attend this awesome open mic, the first fifteen minutes of which will feature the illustrious David Brydges. The master of ceremonies will be the astonishing Kathy Fisher. 

A prime location for poetry readings, this event takes place in The Kasbar — an exotic lounge with a superb Greek Mediterranean menu and an equally excellent selection of spirits, ale, and wine. 

Under the auspices of the stars, The Nightingale dares you to partake in an exciting evening of comedy and drama. Come and forge new friendships, or mend old ones anew. But above all, come and sate your sense of adventure – come and have fun!

All disciplines are welcome, including prose. Doors are at 6:30pm, and the show is 7:00-9:30pm.

To learn more about The Nightingale, visit [their Facebook page here].

Admission: Pass-of-the-hat donations.

Registration: No registration required! Just show up.
