Video of Trampoline Hall, by 52 Mondays

Well, it’s not quite what you’d imagine when you hear “Trampoline Hall”. You’re probably thinking of a long, gilded hallway, with vaulted ceilings, where slender, acrobatic youths in tights are somersaulting between a row of trampolines stretching into the vanishing point (… at least that’s what I imagined). What Trampoline Hall actually is, is a lecture series that’s entertaining, whimsical, and quite an active local tradition.

Happening at Sneeky Dee’s on the second Monday of every month, Trampoline Hall is a lecture series that has only one stipulation: The lecture may not give a talk on a subject in which they are a professional expert. The result is… well, you can watch the video above and tell me whether or not you think it’s awesome. Hosted by a frenetic dude who speaks with nervous excitement and attended by a sold-out crowd of curious, well-humoured guests every month, Trampoline Hall is a really quaint and charming local tradition that you should probably check out, at least once. I know I’ve been coming back for more ever since I attended my first one.

When: Second Monday of every month. May 12th this month. 8PM Sharp. Get tickets beforehand!
Where: Sneaky Dee’s (431 College Street)
Details: Get your tickets ($6) starting Thursday the week before (May 8th in this case) at Soundscapes (572 College Street)! Tickets sell out quickly. You can find out about the topics of this month’s lectures on the Trampoline Hall website.
