About POCBS

Created by Alexis De Villa and Tokunbo Adegbuyi

WORK-IN-PROCESS: POCBS will be presented as a work-in-process variety cabaret.

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.

Age recommendation: 16+ (Content warnings below)
