I’m Gonna Queer That! Is a Weird Night for Weird People.

A night dedicated to those who queer all forms of performance and make work that doesn’t fit within the genres of poetry, comedy, theatre, performance art, etc.

Performance that takes all of the genres and mashes them together to create a new gorgeous, disgusting play-dough performance creature.

This is an event where people can bring their experimental, genre-defying work and be greeted by a kind, supportive new audience.

It's about taking risks, not being sure, and experimenting.
It's about celebrating new, exciting work, especially of artists who are often underrepresented or unable to find their feet.

Whatever happens on the night was supposed to happen.
I massively want to encourage new performers to try out new things in that supportive space.

I’m Gonna Queer That! Is a Weird Night for Weird People, but please don’t feel put off (both in terms of attending as an audience member and performing!!!) if you don’t subscribe to the idea of: “weird”.
We’re all about access and inclusion here. and not just performatively. innit.

I embed accessibility and radical care into everything I do, and so with this in mind I am open to anything I can do to make the space more accessible for you.
