Hello everyone, January 19 kicks off Be Fearless Poetry for 2026! And the feature artist is Gabrielle Everall.

Gabrielle is a Melbourne favourite with several books and international guest readings under her belt. This will be a night to celebrate a major talent in the Australian poetry scene.

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!

COST: Free - Raffle

ACCESSIBILITY: Wheelchair Access Available (contact venue in advance). There is an uneven paved laneway leading to Red Betty Bar
