Great Punch for my special day!

Tuesday was a breath of fresh air. Her choice of material was fitting for the occasion. She was very patient with me as the time changed and she did not complain and performed at a later time. I would recommend her services and would gladly hire her in the future. My guest enjoyed her pieces and I was pleased. She made my 50th birthday memorable and I thank you so very much. You brought sunshine and a smile.

Tuesday did a beautiful job.

I had Tuesday do a spoken word the senior community I work for. She was absolutely amazing. So much passion and her poetry was absolutely powerful.

About

Tuesday currently has a ground breaking new theatrical production on tour...Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology. They open off-Broadway in New York in February 2025. Costume Designer by Trade and Writer at Heart, Tuesday steps out on a limb and turns her poetry into a short film entitled Young & Na!ve. This poetic apology to every child ever sexually molested immediately lunged Tuesday into an International Award Winning Poet and Filmmaker. Her intensity as a Fashion Designer catches on fire as a Writer. Founder of Poet’s Jazz House, Tuesday tours with a band of Spoken Word Artists and they're blazing stages sharing life experiences making the world a better place.

Whether you need one poet or enough poets to perform during your entire festival. Tuesday will bring you the storytellers, poets and spoken word artists whom your guest will talk about long after. We touch hearts, we help heal souls, we'll bring you laughter and joy. We also provide encouragement, writing workshops and homework assignments.

Producing since the age of seventeen at the Foxx Follies Theatre Tuesday has dedicated her life to providing artists a space to learn and grow and a place to perform and sell their art. This freelance multimedia powerhouse producer's creative vision has a long track record of successfully guiding a wide variety of projects from development to completion; from Award Shows to Short Films.

L.A. Weekly wrote Tuesdays comedy club was the hottest in The Valley, Chris Spencer said it was FIRE and CBS wrote Poets Jazz House is one of the coolest poetry lounges in the country. Tuesday Conner is an Inner City Cultural Center Alumnus.
