About

The Poetry Brothel is a global organisation that began as an extension of The Poetry Society of New York.

​

When Stephanie Berger and Nicholas Adamski, residents of NYC, found themselves frustrated by the lack of exciting poetry events even in a city renowned for its theatres, they conceived of the Poetry Brothel:

An immersive literary cabaret - a world of words, wonder and whimsy.

​

You kind of just have to experience it to get it.

​

Poets perform in character, in costume, and attendees are invited to do the same... It's a beautiful intersection of an entertaining variety show and an immersive theatre experience, one which encourages all involved to let their alter-egos out to play.
