September 26: BARUCH!
By Sarah Dopp on Sep 23, 2008 in Featured, Mushy, Shows
This Friday, kick off your kinkyqueer Folsom Street Fair weekend right with the kind of spoken word talent that puts your brain and heart in separate vise clamps and twists them in opposite directions until you cackle out your safeword from a place in your gut so deep it sounds more like a yodel than a cry for help. That’s right. You guessed it. We’ve got Baruch.
About Baruch
Baruch Porras-Hernandez writes poetry that delves deep into the ancestral guilt he feels when feeding his addiction to Taco Bell, his obsession with wanting to be Clive Owen and be in all of his movies and his inability to find a date in the gayest city in the world. Though he’s been writing poetry since the age of 12, he began performing poetry at Open Mics while at Sonoma State University where he received his B.A. in Theater Arts/Drama in 2004. He competes weekly at the Berkeley Poetry Slam on Wednesdays where he’s won second place several times and hopes to win first place very soon, or DIE TRYING! He was born in Toluca, Mexico and grew up in the East Bay.
He recites poetry, does a dance, or a monologue for food, and Martinis. Preferably Martinis.
Come see him perform and join him at the mic!
