Each month will have different featured artists and will always have an open mic session. We are excited to have Sukina Noor (IG @sukina_noor) and Shakara (IG @_shak.ara) as our featured artists this month. Anyone wanting to perform in open mic can register on arrival. If you wish to pay on the door it will be cash only as well as for any refreshments / food being sold on the night!”

“Project2 (Katy Schutte and Chris Mead) create improvised science fiction live on stage. Imagine huge sweeping shots of desolate alien planets, a dystopian future Earth, the world inside the veins of a human body, grotesque abominable creatures and beautiful camera angles. This improvised science fiction show is based on audience suggestions, touching on the familiar tropes of every science fiction film we have ever seen. Expect comedy, drama, beauty and human connection.”
