Description

It's funny people sharing bad books.

Have you ever read a poorly written novel and thought to yourself, who publishes this crap? Or maybe you were in a thrift store and found a hilariously out of date self-help book. Perhaps you flipped through Tori Spelling’s/ Justin Bieber’s/ R. Kelly’s etc. autobiography and guffawed at her/his life story. Now imagine charming and comedic performers telling you all about these terrible tales. Well, that’s what Say Wha?! is all about.

Each performer is given the task to find a book that makes them say, "Say Wha?!" and then gives a book talk about the worst bits. We read this stuff so you don't have to.

The event producer and host, Sara Bynoe was inspired to create this night after she found a bad romance novel in a hostel in Bath, England which provided hours of entertainment for her friends. Since the show first launched in June 2010 Say Wha?! has featured at the Vancouver Comedy Festival, All Jane No Dick Comedy Festival (Portland), The Vancouver International Poetry Festival, and the Olio Festival.
