Trampoline Hall

Trampoline Hall

Trampoline Hall is a barroom lecture series started by Canadian author Sheila Heti in Toronto in 2001. Lectures are forbidden from speaking on subjects on which they are personally expert. On a typical night, three lectures give talks, each of which is followed by a Q&A session with the audience, hosted by Misha Glouberman. In Toronto, the show ran for several years at the Cameron House, before moving to its new location at Sneaky Dee's.

Lecture topics are tremendously diverse, ranging from the serious to the ridiculous.

The show went on a 10-city tour of the US in 2002, has played numerous shows in New York and San Francisco.

The show has been written about favourably in the New Yorker, the Village Voice, the National Post, The Toronto Globe and Mail, among other publications.
