Performance Works, 1218 Cartright Street, Granville Island Thursday, Sept 9, 6:45pm a cynic tells love stories
In A Cynic Tells Love Stories Minneapolis writer, comedian, and spoken word performer Katherine Glover looks at love through four different lenses: the hopeless romantic, the cynic, the slut, and the wife. The stories range from hilarious to heartbreaking as Glover fumbles along seducing porn stars, falling for straight girls, and trying to force her emotions to be logical. Along the way she explores the ironies of the word "slut" and gives a primer on what it means—and doesn't mean—to be bisexual.
