Event Details:

Dearest Dolls and Desperados-

The Poetry Brothel Denver is thrilled to welcome you to our inaugural launch of the newes branch of internationally devoured literary cabaret, The Poetry Brothel. Step into our opulent parlor and be spirited by our gorgeous cast of characters – singers, storytellers, tarot readers, burlesque dancers, and of course, Poetry Whores - each with their own whimsical story to re-wild you. Indulge in a private, one-on-one experience with one of our gold star local poets, here to indulge you with the intimacies of the tongue; that’s right... poetry!

Join our ladies and gents of the evening as they escort you though the newest jewel in RiNo Arts District, immersive art and dance lounge- Mockingbird. By the same artistic minds that brought you Beacon, Mockingbird’s decadent artist curated decor and intimate VIP boudoirs will whet your craving for connection.

The Brothel doors open at 7:00pm where you can mingle with our Dashing Doves.

The show runs from 8pm-11pm where Madam Cybele CaryMel provides a roulette cast of poets who offer private poetry readings in secret, sequestered, well adorned chambers. You may avail yourself of your choice of poet for tokens at any time during the event.

Don’t forget to don your silver slippers! Costumes and/or Victorian wear are encouraged (but not required). The event is 21+.

In addition to its poets, The Poetry Brothel features a diverse array of artists and activists, creating a dynamic experience that’s ever-evolving and delightfully unpredictable. Our performers represent a rich tapestry of identities—male, female, faeries, witches, aliens, POC, queer, and everything in between.

Consent is Key: Behave with beauty and connect with intention. We are, by and large, a no-contact event—here to blow your mind and nothing else! Always ask before touching anyone in our House, and report any discomfort to security, staff, or the Madam Herself without delay.

Accessibility: This event is wheelchair accessible (reach out to us for details). Please note that our show includes flashing lights, amplified music, fog machines, and a chance to glimpse your true self.

The Poetry Brothel supports s3x workers and to educate audiences about the s3x industry. We encourage all attendees to make a donation to GLITS, SWOP USA, and other organizations that fights for the health, rights, and safety of sx workers. You can donate on our website, or throughout the night of the event.
