Brendan McLeod

Holy Guacamole, it’s a Poetry Show! is a kinetic feast of words and song for students K-7. Written by former Canadian SLAM champ and award-winning musician Brendan McLeod, it offers students the opportunity to revel in the thrill of word play while presenting practical lessons about rhythm and figurative language. Featuring a dinosaur rap, songs about planets and pets, hilarious haikus, and poems about everything from climate change to the lettuce in your lunch box, the show delivers content that’s both entertaining for the ears and challenging for the mind. Accompanying himself on banjo, guitar, and ukulele, Brendan brings over fifteen years of school touring experience to his first show geared at primary schools.
