Bif Naked on documentary screening & live performance coming to Toronto's Royal Theatre

from SWOMP · host SWOMP

Canadian music icon Bif Naked will bring her life story and unmistakable voice to The Royal Theatre on November 12 for a one-night-only event featuring the premiere screening of BIF NAKED: A Documentary, an intimate acoustic performance and a live Q&A. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) and promises a three-hour celebration of one of Canada’s most fearless and influential performers. SWOMP caught up with Bif to discuss the doc. Directed by Pollyanna Hardwicke-Brown, the feature-length documentary traces Bif Naked’s remarkable journey from her beginnings in India and upbringing in Canada to her rise through the underground punk scene of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Featuring rare archival footage, interviews and performance clips, the film explores her evolution as a poet, fighter and rock ’n’ roll trailblazer who has never shied away from telling her truth. Following the screening, Bif will take the stage for a stripped-down acoustic set that highlights the raw emotion and honesty at the heart of her music. The evening will close with a candid audience Q&A, offering fans a chance to connect directly with the artist known for her wit, authenticity and resilience. Appearing in the film are George Stroumboulopoulos, Doug Fury, Chiko Misomali and Peter Karroll, who each help paint a vivid portrait of Bif’s decades-long impact on Canadian music and culture. Tickets are on sale now, with VIP passes priced at $50 plus tax and fees, and standard and accessible tickets at $35. Seating is limited for what organizers describe as an intimate and emotional evening celebrating one of the country’s most enduring cultural figures. The event takes place at The Royal, 608 College Street, Toronto. Get you tickets, here.
