Spartacus Books

57 Varieties (music, poetry)
Third Tuesday of each month at 8pm

Hosted by Rowan Lipkovits

684 E. Hastings St
Vancouver, BC

the Butchershop presents the "57 Varieties" unplugged open stage / variety show. On the third Friday of every month Spartacus Books is the new site of Vancouver's only unplugged open stage / variety show, limited only by your imagination! Hosted by Rowan Lipkovits on his wild accordion, his goal is to achieve in any given night such a diversity of genres and styles that the event lives up to the ketchup-y tally in its name. While we get our fair share of poetry-spoken word and acoustic guitar-slinging, the event also solicits performances that might not fit in other venues -- everything from choreographed dance to improv to the impromptu performance of short guerrilla plays to clowning, puppet shows, and the conducting of a cellphone orchestra! 8 'til 10 pm. No amplification, no sign-up -- do what you want, when you feel. By donation / Pay-what-you-can.
