Assorted Sporks is a regular, free, queer-friendly poetry and performance open mic night held at Mamma Chen's in Footscray. This single-day event on 23 April 2026, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM AEST, features guest performer Saara Lamberg, a gender-agnostic film director, actor, comedian, and poet currently in post-production on the satirical film CAMP THERAPY. The theme 'Poetry is a Cult' encourages experimental writing and improvisation, with open mic sign-ups on the night limited to 5 minutes per performer. Hosted by Quil Steinberg with sound by George O'Hara, the wheelchair-accessible venue welcomes poetry, creative writing, and performance art to a supportive audience.
