Get ready for a night of incredible performances at the Queer Open Mic! Our fabulous feature is Kenny Idleman! Join us on October 13th at ICONS for an unforgettable night of poetry, music, and comedy. Doors are at 6:30PM, the show starts at 7.
Our event will be a celebration of queer art and culture, featuring talented performers from the local community and beyond. With a focus on inclusivity and diversity, we welcome performers of all genders, sexualities, and identities to attend, though the stage is for LGBTQIA2+ voices.
Kenny Idleman certainly has various credentials. Multiple institutions, notably Pikes Peak Community (now State) College and Colorado State University-Fort Collins, have sent them multiple high quality pieces of paper in very thick envelopes, (though one was admittedly lost in the mail.) Now leading the jewelry and metalsmithing program at Pikes Peak State College, teaching at Bemis School or Art, and hosting and organizing the weekly “Coyoetry” event through Concrete Couch, Kenny has completed the full-circle long-con, meticulously and advantageously manipulating his way into a career in the arts over his long and colorful life.
Covid-19 info: We ask that this be a masked event so that those in our community who are immuno-compromised can be in attendance. Venue staff may be unmasked, but we ask that attendees mask so that this event can be accessible for at-risk and immunocompromised attendees. Masks can be removed when speaking at the mic. A limited number of masks will be provided.
Whether you're a seasoned performer or just looking to enjoy some amazing art, the Queer Open Mic is the place to be. See you there!
