Sara Bynoe Entertainment has a history of producing genre blurring shows: Teen Angst Night, Say Wha?!: Readings of Deliciously Rotten Writing. Is it a literary night or is it a comedy night? In truth those shows lean towards comedy.
Following that tradition but stepping much further into the literary world than she has before, Sara Bynoe is producing Humourists: Literarlly Funny, an evening with some of Vancouver’s best writers reading their funniest bits.
The inaugural show includes:
