The Golden Hour: Literary Cabaret @ The Rude Shipyard Thur 20th May 8pm

 

Join the gang from Edinburgh's legendary Forest Cafe for a literary cabaret which has played to sold-out audiences in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, London and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It is poetry and prose, original eclectic songs + plenty of surprises. It is physical and mental. It is a reading. It is a gig. It is a party.
