Tomboy Survival Guide is a new live show from Vancouver’s own Ivan Coyote with compatriots Pebbles Willekes, Allison Gorman and Sally Zori. A living breathing singing handbook on how to love the tomboy you are, and the tomboys around you.

Last year we got to present Ivan’s show Gender Failure (PuSh 2014) with Rae Spoon to two sell-out nights at Club PuSh. So, when we heard rumours of this new show, we snapped it up so we could say: “World Premiere”.  I love saying that. World Premiere.

You’ll get to see it first, Vancouver. Which is only right, given that it’s from here. And we’re pretty queer.  There are a lot of good trees to climb in this city, that’s all I’m saying. An easy place to be a good tomboy.
