ABOUT POCBS
Tune into the People of Colour
Broadcasting Service, where the host and his little buddy take you on a
rollercoaster of emotion and connection — weaving through stand-up
comedy, poetry, music, dance, and more, all celebrating and exploring
diasporic experiences on Treaty 6 territory. It’s chaotic cabaret with
heart — bold, tender, and, like all of us, a work in progress.
WORK-IN-PROCESS: POCBS will be shared as a work-in-process variety cabaret. The show will run an estimated 60 minutes with an optional post-show talkback.
