Tre Galli Gelato Caffe is helping to celebrate the power of bad writing.
The caf at River Market is teaming up with Say Wha?! to offer up a night of comedy based on what's being described as "some of the most cringe-worthy, embarrassing and painfully earnest writing in print."
The fun is happening on Wednesday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m.
"Have you ever read a poorly written novel and thought to yourself, who publishes this stuff? Or come across a hilariously out of date self-help book in a thrift store? Perhaps you flipped through a D-list celebrity's autobiography and guffawed at their life story. Well, that's what Say Wha?! is all about," explains a publicity write-up about the show.
Since the show first launched in June 2010, Say Wha?! has appeared in the Vancouver Comedy Festival and the Vancouver International Poetry Festival.
Tickets are $15 and must be purchased in advance. The price includes the Say Wha?! performance, as well as a serving of Tre Galli gelato or coffee.
The caf's full kitchen of pizzas and paninis will also be available.
