Veteran authors and performers Derrick C. Brown and Amber Tamblyn are reuniting this spring for a limited run of their infamous literary performance show, which they toured nationally between 2008-2015 via motorcycle. PRETEND IT’S A BOAT combines sharply funny and heart-wrenching poetry, comedy, and wild interactions with the audience to create a truly inspired, one-of a-kind show. Brown and Tamblyn have toured together for two decades, turning their signature style of darkly humorous and heart-jolting poetry and verse into provocative, energized and unpredictable performances for the stage.

They will be cold and could use your warmth.
