What's It Like?


Hear from real attendees in on our webpage!


Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about?


Bring your friends (or come by yourself) and spend your Tuesday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason.



We'll be offering "big talk" conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward. Not feeling like answering a particular question?
No worries, we'll have plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?" We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel
comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you divulge.


There will be food and drinks for sale! Use code STST to use $5 voucher included in the ticket price!


Check-in for this event will begin around 6:45 PM. Please do your best to arrive before 7:00 PM so we can begin as close to on time as possible.



Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone. Check out our safety policy here:

Want to Support Our BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color) Guests?


BIPOC have historically experienced greater systemic barriers to attending events like these than white folks, and we'd like to do our small part to move in the direction of correcting that imbalance. So, we'd like to invite our white
supporters to join us in making these events more accessible to BIPOC.



If you have the financial means to support our BIPOC guests, please consider donating any amount to us on Venmo at @Skipthesmalltalk and where it prompts you with,
"What's it for?" Please write, "BIPOC initiative." Within two days of any donations, we will offer the equivalent number of free BIPOC tickets, which will be accessible during the ticket purchase process as they become available.






Ready to Skip the Small Talk With Us?

Grab a ticket since entry is on a first come first serve basis and we tend to sell out in advance for these-- once we are out of tickets, we will NOT be able to accommodate folks at the door. Want to check out what else is going on at Trident Books? Check out their full event calendar .
