Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays is back for a fresh new year.
The fringe performance series is continuing at the Heritage Grill for 2018 with a new showtime: 7 p.m. every Wednesday, starting Jan. 17.
Coming up on Jan. 17, Jayson McDonald presents Underbelly, which takes its inspiration from the “voice, vices and venom” of William Burroughs.
“Jason McDonald’s award-winning ode to 1950s Beat Generation counterculture is a hallucination crafted from poetic virtuosity and the bold chagrin of a beatnik with a bone to pick,” a press release says.
On Jan. 24, audiences can enjoy David DJ Roy in Behind the Smut. Roy, a comic who used to work in the adult film industry, tells all – before taking audience questions about the reality of making smut that sells. (Audiences are warned that the show will feature sexually explicit content.)
“Roy will (probably) keep his clothes on, but the pron industry will be stripped nude by one of East Van’s most notorious and engaging storytellers,” the release says.
Shows are always on a pay-what-you-want basis, and you can order food and beverages while enjoying the performance. Doors to the back room open at 6:30 p.m. You can reserve a table by calling 604-759-0819.
