The Annual Carnival Talk Tent is on again at Queen’s Hall Conference Centre, on Saturday 21 st and Sunday 22 nd February 2026.The longest running Talk Show in Trinidad and Tobago, the Talk Tent has been promoting the oral Traditions since 1983 when it was first produced by Paul Keens-Douglas in a canvas tent on Victoria Ave, Woodbrook. Today it is an established part of the post-carnival presentations, with a faithful following that covers all age groups.
With its motto “Where talk Is Art”, the Talk Tent prides itself on the presentation of clean, quality, humor, comedy, storytelling, poetry and social commentary, with a focus on values, education and family entertainment. As such it seeks out artists whose material is supportive of this vision.
Making a repeat appearance is popular spoken word poet, Seth Sylvester, who delighted audiences at last year’s show. He will be joining regulars such as Miguel Browne, Pierrots (Felix Edinborough and Keomi Serrette), Farida Chapman, Short Pants (Talk-Calypso), Avion Crooks, Singing-MC David Bereaux and Master storyteller himself Dr. Paul Keens-Douglas.
The Talk Tent depends on the support of its fans, patrons and those who recognize the importance of its role in truly preserving this aspect of Caribbean culture. As the saying goes, there are many talk shows but only one Talk Tent!
Books, CD’s and DVD’s of the various artists will also be available at special show prices. Tickets are priced at $300.00 and are available at Crosby’s, RIK-Trincity/Gulf City, Domon’s Shoe Store - Long Circular Mall, Metropolitan Book Suppliers - Ariapita Avenue and Queen’s Hall.
For further information call 632-1647, 684-1629 or 376-5699 and/or follow us on Facebook.
Do come out and support the shows that support the values!
Paul Keens-Douglas.
