Our inaugural event was loud, proud and brought out a whole lotta love that we’re still carrying <3


Welcome to an epic part two, high-voltage, open mic with feature artist NARI and hosted by ZAHRA DHANANI and RAYMOND HELKIO with featured artist ZANI!

 

Doors and sign-up: 6 PM

Showtime: 6:30

 

Dress up, dress down, why dress at all? We’re not your typical open mic, we are the anti-open mic, so come here to be queer, be loud, proud and the fullest version of yourself. There are no rules to the open mic, though remember, intention is everything.  

 

Priority for the open mic and feature artists is given to QTBIPOC folk, as well as those with differing abilities.
