Asheville’s Poetry Cabaret Collective has been performing risqué and avant-garde shows twice a year for the past two years, in private clubs and as part of the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival.

This year, they are taking the show to Washington, D.C., while it’s still legal to stand-up for free speech, speak erotic words, showcase boylesque and burlesque acts, make magic, and perform trump poetry near The White House.

Poetry Cabaret Director Caleb Beissert explains, “It costs a lot to take a whole troupe to D.C. We’re performing extra shows down here in Asheville to help pay for our expenses.”
