QUEER TALENTS:
- QUEER AS FUCK – Stand-up comedy
- Adi Parmar was born in India in the 90s but was reborn after Lana Del Rey released the Ride music video in 2012. He has a crush on Emmanuel Macron, but he doesn’t always agree with his politics. He may have ADHD, but there’s a lot going on in his life right now, so we can’t get into all that.
- Bronwyn Isaac is a stand-up comedian and writer who still doesn’t understand how to unlock her frequent flyer miles. When she’s not silently crying on a plane while watching the worst movie she’s seen in her life, she’s haunting stages across the world.
- Anna Mac is an Irish “lady comic”, but don’t hold that against her. Through her unique comedy stylings, she invites audiences to laugh, learn and maybe even avoid a few of her well-intentioned f**k ups along the way.
18:30 – 19:00 – Open floor reflections
How is it for you to part with your phone? Do you have tips or tricks to scroll less? Say something, share a feeling, or just nod meaningfully. All are welcome!
19:00 – Reunite with your phone and have a peaceful night.
NOTE: Please bring with you a book, journal, crochet set, or whatever helps you connect with yourself during YOU TIME. We will also provide some crosswords, books, and drawing materials. Please bring cash or a physical card with you to pay for your drinks/snacks as you won’t have access to your phone till the end of the event. If you can’t make it, please forward your ticket to a friend – we have no refund policy.
