Marge Presents: the bee

​Remember spelling bees? The nerves, the pressure, the thrill of nailing a word you barely knew you knew? Marge is bringing them back, but this time with pals and zero risk of disappointing your fifth grade teacher.

​Your host for the evening is local spelling bee aficionado (A-F-I-C-I-O-N-A-D-O) Laya Polowin of @thebeeeeeeeeeeeeee, bringing the chaos, the comedy, the correct pronunciations and the sweet prizes. Come solo, come with a team, or come just to heckle from the sidelines.

​Every ticket includes a $20 gift card to spend at the food hall or bar, so you're covered for the night!

​Marge hosts events in Toronto that actually feel good to attend. The bonus: 100% of profits on every ticket supports Margaret's, one of the city's most important agencies working with women facing mental illness, substance use and homelessness. Visit: https://margarets.ca/ for more information.

​Doors at 6:45, bee kicks off at 7:30, wrapped by 9:30.

​Location: Waterworks — East Annex Private Room, 50 Brant St, Toronto, ON M5V 3G9
