- **Event Description**: Famous Last Words (New Westminster) is a spoken word comedy show that involves poets  in six rounds of a silly faux competition.About this EventFamous Last Words is a spoken word comedy show that involves poets participating in six rounds of a faux competition where they ‘compete' in a series of poetry related events that are in turn, 'judged' by our host (with input from Uni the Unicorn and our audience).These games include poems written in unusual forms (haiku, sonnet, limericks, etc.) or on silly themes (love poems directed to someone in the room) or with funny addendums (poems must be written from the perspective of a puppet and must be read with said puppet). There are 25 potential games that can occur during any episode of Famous Last Words thus no two shows are exactly the same.Recurring characters at every show like Uni or the Dr. Dru or the Professor add silliness to the show and we hand out free chocolate to everyone that attends. We also tend to loan our unicorn bubble guns and give our free sticker/pins to members of the audience. It’s been called a kids show for adults or spoken word that doesn’t take itself too seriously.This show in particular will feature Aaron Hunter, Babaloluwa (Lolu) Oyedele, Elliott Slinn, Jenny Garcha, Steve Miller, host Sean McGarragle and of course, Uni the Unicorn.Aaron Hunter is a poet, performer and visual artist He is an indigenous, transgender man, who explores his identity through art.

Slinn’s haunting and powerful voice carries an air of gentle melancholy, which captivates audiences and leaves listeners spellbound.

These people who were from all the different corners of the globe. Who were here in Canada, trying to make a name for themselves and provide for their families, just like her mother. Her childhood was multicultural; different languages, tongues and mouths speaking, often hollering over one another as if she had landed in the middle of the tower of Babel. This loving community that surrounded Jenny in her early years, is the positive influence she has with her through every adventure she partakes in. She carries her Canadian family with her everywhere.Sean McGarragle is the host and founder of Death Rides a Unicorn. He has performed and read poems and stories across Canada, the US and even a little bit in Europe. He loves presenting interesting artists to curious audiences and chocolate and laughter to everyone.Steve Miller is a spoken word artist, slam poet, storyteller, performer, workshop creator/facilitator, singer(he thinks), musician(nope but I still try), renaissance handy person(who identifies as a man-kinda). He currently lives and works on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Qayqayt First Nation, the first people of this land, and the shared traditional territories of other Coast Salish peoples, including the Musqueam, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Tsleil-Waututh, and Katzie nations.Steve Miller's work is defined by its relatable accessibility, often comedic yet raw honesty and unflinching, confessional style. His poetry courageously explores the complexities of human connection, personal trauma, and the search for healing.Uni the Unicorn is a grown up sparkle, a dancing child of the moon and Michael Flatly and the epitome of the joy we hope we can bring to every Death Rides a Unicorn show. In times of direct stress and deress we beieve it is critical to give me joy, laughter and where possible, a little bit of decadence. Uni is all of that wrapped in a hug that smells like home cooking.
