Description:

A Busboys and Poetry Event! For two hours, audiences can expect a diverse chorus of voices and a vast array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, musicians, and a different host every week.

Tonight's host is Beny Blaq.

Brooklyn, NY native Beny Blaq is an internationally recognized poet and promoter who inspires audiences with his prose and entertains party-goers with the finest nightlife events in the city through his company, Beny Blaq Entertainment (BBE). He has performed at over 50 colleges and universities, appeared on various radio and TV outlets, such as BET?s Lyric Cafe, TV One and WHUR, and made an appearance on HBO?s hit series ?The Wire?.

Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all, come with an open mind and ear.

Wristbands are available for  purchase online  at midnight prior to the event, and on-site at the Busboys and Poets Book Store until sold out. Limit 4 wristbands per person. Sorry, no refunds.

Seating is available on a first come, first seated basis. No saved or reserved seats are allowed. Failure to check in within 30 minutes of advertised start time may result in a forfeiture of seats.
