The Poetry Brothel LA: Secret Summer Immersive Event - Main Image

What does it mean to have a Secret Summer? It means anything is possible in the golden rays of the sun. Things that you only may have once wished for now may bear fruit. Your most unspoken desires can peek out from behind a summer shrub. It also invites the hint of the switch… are you secretly submissive even though you’re a boss in everyday life… at the Poetry Brothel you can explore every nuance of who you are or long to be! We can hear you longing to tell your deepest truths. Join us in celebrating the end of summer with an unforgettable evening that blends live music, burlesque, and intimate poetry readings. As you indulge in El Cid's incredible tapas and exquisite cocktails, immerse yourself in the night's adventure. A secret lies hidden within the event, and you will receive clues to unravel the puzzle as the evening unfolds. Enjoy our two-hour vaudeville show featuring The Blue Wagon Trio, local artists and writers, and the tantalizing "poetry of the flesh." For a more intimate experience, our talented prosetitutes will take you out to a secluded grotto to read to you one-on-one... for a small fee of course! Don't miss out on this immersive, enchanting evening that promises to delight all your senses. Join us at El Cid for Secret Summer and be part of an unforgettable celebration.
