SUMMARY:Singles Mingle
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday June 1\, 2025 at Laugh Lounge in the Byward Market for the next Singles Mingle! Your hosts Natalia (sex educator & entrepreneur) and Joey (theatre & comedy queen) will guide you through interactive activities that allow you to get to know others in a fun and playful way.  \n\n\n\nHaven’t been to a Singles Mingle before? It’s a special funnel style format – we start playing with the entire group and slowly get into smaller\, more intimate groups as the night progresses. These activities are designed to help you let loose and laugh\, because humour helps to alleviate stress and makes interactions more enjoyable and relaxed. As always\, you will also have the opportunity to win some amazing door prizes (including sex toys from Wicked Wanda’s)!

SUMMARY:NBR: Seven Deadly Sins
DESCRIPTION:The religious concept of sin has long been used as a tool to establish morality for the masses\, and to dictate right and wrong. But if dogma tells us that things like gluttony\, sloth and lust are evil\, then why do they feel so good? \n\n\n\nJoin us as we re-examine the boundaries of the Seven Deadly Sins — with a side of lust — and explore wrath\, pride\, greed\, and all the other sins in the world of literature! \n\n\n\nTICKETS BELOW or www.nakedboysreading.ca \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nNaked Boys Reading is an internationally produced literary salon featuring unclothed men reading to you: a blissful combination of literature\, book nerds\, and\, of course\, nudity! \n\n\n\nThis show is for all genders and sexualities. It is not erotic “adult entertainment” — which we’re cool with — but that’s not this. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nTHIS SHOW… \n\n\n\n— Curated by Dave Wavrock— Hosted by ★ RHAPSODY BLUE ★— Photography by Zac Emery— Co-produced by Nicholas Surges— Presented by Tricky Ricky Productions \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nDoors will open at 7:00 pm. We cannot admit anybody prior to 7:00 pm. The show will begin at 8:00 pm sharp. Seating is first come\, first served: The sooner you arrive\, the better the view you’ll have. \n\n\n\nIf you’re attending as a party of three or more people\, it is best to arrive early — by 7:30 pm — to find seating together. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nNBR shows usually sell out in advance\, so we strongly recommend advance ticket purchase\, without delay\, to avoid disappointment. \n\n\n\nThe advance ticket price is $24 per ticket. If you’re unable to pay online\, or if the ticket price is a financial barrier for you\, please contact us: ottawa@nakedboysreading.ca \n\n\n\nTickets are refundable up to five (5) days before the show\, but please note that service/processing fees (charged by Eventbrite\, the ticketing platform) are non-refundable. Each ticket is also transferable — which means you can gift or sell it to somebody else. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nWe are committed to body positivity and diverse representation. The line-up of readers for each show is usually a mix of new and returning readers. We strive to reflect the diversity of our communities at every show. Our success is partially dependent upon the availability of readers. \n\n\n\nWe regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people. It is on the second floor of the building and accessible only via stairs. Non-gendered washrooms are available. \n\n\n\nWe acknowledge that we operate on the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★
