Superbad for the girls and gays! 2019’s Booksmart follows two co-dependent nerds whose end-of-high-school blowout / hormonal exorcism spirals into serious suburban chaos – it’s the gross-out cringe-comedy we deserve, beamed to Cafe Kino by the trans healthcare fundraising angels at Project The Dolls. Booksmart 15 7.30pm at Cafe Kino.

The concert film to end all concert films! Before there was Woodstock, there was 68’s Monterey Pop, immortalised in D. A. Pennebaker's euphoric countercultural snapshot. Some of the best live performances in history, not to mention Mama Cass’ rapturous gawping while Janis Joplin howls the sky down, the multiple counts of guitar destruction/fornication/arson, the priceless cutaways to a sea of blissed-out hippies… HIPPY TRIPPY SUMMER PRESENTS: MONTEREY POP at The Cube.

Sell out warning! Our fave Romanian twin queer allies at Trinity? Are we dreaming? It’s a cheeky holiday!! The noughties pop icons headline this full-blown Pride takeover – alongside live cabaret from trailblazing drag king Prix Chiyo, serpentine sorceress Mama Mamba, and bearlesque diva Deeva D + Liam Parsons bringing hi-nrg club-pop euphoria on the decks. The Queer As F*ck crew really pulling out all the stops here! QUEER AS F*CK: Pride Afterparty at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! Back for a blockbuster fourth year running: boundary-defying drag-theatre from queer performance art collective House of Boussé! Part visceral reclamation narrative against hateful media rhetoric, part self-proclaimed “trannified version of The Magic School Bus”, Trans/Form is an embodied journey into the beauty and power of trans+ experiences. TRANS/FORM at Strange Brew.
