Assorted Sporks is a queer friendly regular poetry and performance night at Mamma Chen's on the last Thursday of the month.
September 26th Features the amazing Nikki Viveca!

Nikki Viveca is a slam poet, standup comedian, burlesque performer and actress. She has appeared most recently in Griffin Theatre’s epic production of The Lewis Trilogy (Winner: Best Play in the Sydney TimeOut Awards) and in cabaret spectacular Gender Euphoria, which received a Community Inspiration Award at the 2023 Victorian Pride Awards. An artist who dances on the line between humour and heartbreak, Nikki loves and writes poems about all the things we leave unspoken, from our deepest desires to our silliest shower thoughts.
