“Everything I needed to know about emergency response, I learned as a teenage hot dog vendor in downtown Toronto.”


Award winning playwright, author, and spoken word performer Charlie Petch (They/He) shares
their personal accounts of working at hot dog stands around downtown Toronto. Through spoken word, musical storytelling and de-escalation techniques, Charlie regales audiences with tales of survival, and kindness as a witness to life on the street.
