Three Years of Say Wha?!
On June 19 you are invited to come and celebrate the fact that three years ago I moved back to Vancouver and started another literary/comedy show about bad writing.
WHAT IS SAY WHA?! READINGS OF DELICIOUSLY ROTTEN WRITING?
Have you ever read a poorly written novel and thought to yourself, who publishes this crap? Or come across a hilariously out of date self-help book in a thrift store? Perhaps you flipped through R. Kelly’s autobiography and was shocked that he once stripped as Darth Vader? Now imagine some of Vancouver’s funniest and most charming performers reading from those books. Well, that’s what Say Wha?! is all about.
Say Wha? has been featured at the Vancouver Comedy Festival, the Vancouver International Poetry Festival, the Vancouver Fringe Bar, Comedy Waste and in the Olio Festival.

Teen Angst Night
2NEXT SHOW: Wednesday, May 29
Somewhere in the back of your closet gathering dust and turning yellow with age is comedic gold. Those old journals, poems, and essays you wrote as a teenager when you thought you could do no wrong, would probably make you cringe at your former feelings if you were to read them today. Now, imagine sharing them in front of an audience. That’s exactly what happens at Teen Angst.
Teen Angst Night is an open mic comedic reading series where everyday people read from their embarrassing old journals, poems, songs, essays (and more). So, get digging through your old notebooks and find some gems!
You can share anything (poetry, songs, letters, journals, diaries, essays, stories, plays, lists, etc) so long as it follows these rules:
1- The work must be your own.
2- You must have written it between the ages of 10-19.
3- It’s best if the work is at least 4 years old.
4- If you cringe while reading it- it’s worth sharing! The more embarrassing the better!

February Say Wha?! Show
Have you ever read a poorly written novel (like 50 Shades of Grey) and thought to yourself, who publishes this crap? Or come across a hilariously out of date self-help book in a thrift store? Perhaps you heard that R. Kelly wrote an autobiography? Well, that’s what Say Wha?! is all about.
At Say Wha?! engaging and charismatic performers put their comedic spin on some of the most cringe-worthy, embarrassing and painfully earnest writing in print.
We read this so you don’t have to.
Hosted by Sara Bynoe

“THE ROOM” (Tommy Wiseau – 2003) If you haven’t attended “The Room” at a theatre with an audience by now, brothers and sisters, you are missing out on a one-of-a-kind cinema experience!
Once upon a time, an inexperienced actor/director/writer/producer named Tommy Wiseau set out to film a serious drama about relationships called “The Room.” However when the film premiered at a theatre in Los Angeles the audience was rolling over with laughter ten minutes into it. That historic first screening was the catalyst that transformed “The Room” into the enormous cult smash hit that it is today.
Is Tommy Wiseau really an alien from outer space making a human movie about humans and not knowing a f***ing thing about humans? Seriously if you’ve seen the movie it’s like he has no idea how people act or how they talk! “The Room” is unlike anything you’ve ever seen and probably will never see anything like it ever again. (D.G.)
