About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

A spooktacular annual tradition. 🎃

From the American frontier to the Scottish highlands — from remote fishing villages to unexplored worlds lightyears away — come with us as we explore horror in isolation!

★ ★ ★

Naked Boys Reading is an internationally produced literary salon featuring unclothed men reading to you: a blissful combination of literature, book nerds, and, of course, nudity!

This show is for all genders and sexualities. It is not erotic "adult entertainment" — which we're cool with — but that's not this.

THIS SHOW...

  • Curated by Zac Emery
  • Hosted by ★ RHAPSODY BLUE
  • Co-produced by Nicholas Surges
  • Photography by Zac Emery
  • Presented by Tricky Ricky Productions

★ ★ ★

Doors will open at 7:00 pm. We cannot admit anybody prior to 7:00 pm. The show will begin at 8:00 pm sharp. Seating is first come, first served: The sooner you arrive, the better the view you'll have.

If you're attending as a party of three or more people, it is best to arrive early — by 7:30 pm — to find seating together.

NBR shows usually sell out in advance, so we strongly recommend advance ticket purchase, without delay, to avoid disappointment.

The advance ticket price is $27 per ticket including payment platform/processing fees. If you're unable to pay online, or if the ticket price is a financial barrier for you, please contact us: ottawa@nakedboysreading.ca

Tickets are refundable up to five (5) days before the show, but please note that the service and processing fees (charged by Eventbrite, the ticketing platform) are non-refundable. Each ticket is also transferable — which means you can gift or sell it to somebody else.

★ ★ ★

We are committed to body positivity and diverse representation. The line-up of readers for each show is usually a mix of new and returning readers. We strive to reflect the diversity of our communities at every show. Our success is partially dependent upon the availability of readers.

We regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people. It is on the second floor of the building and accessible only via stairs. Non-gendered washrooms are available.

We acknowledge that we operate on the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people.
