Cockroach's first love-themed open mic

We’re sending your love to shelters in Canada via handmade valentines. 

This year we're sending them to women's shelters across the country.

So, let’s get together to sing, joke and read about love!

Bring your music, comedy, poetry, whatever and sign up to share to a crowd who will be enjoying warm drinks and delicious food while making beautiful cards.

The space is accessible, and there are gender-neutral bathrooms.  

No one has to get up to the mic or make valentines.
