To kick off the year with a bit of fanciness and celebration I’m getting some of the biggest supporters of the gig together! They’ve helped me run it, or they’ve promoted it, or they’ve attended like clockwork and told their friends, or they’ve brainstormed and problem solved in the background or they’ve really helped to make Assorted Sporks what it is in dozens of ways! They have been super awesome people and they are super awesome poets and performers!
So we are having the open mic as always, and then we have SIX special guests doing ten minute spots! Followed by more open mic!

Gabrielle Everall does Be Fearless Poetry!
Hello everyone, January 19 kicks off Be Fearless Poetry for 2026! And the feature artist is Gabrielle Everall.
Why call a gig Be Fearless? It's because I want to present performers whose work the audience would otherwise not experience or for them to see more of. To inspire and expose poets to art or poetic performances they haven't seen before.
There will be open mic of course, plus the famous hospitality of Red Betty!
