Laughs in Queer - A Comedy Social & Open Mic

Details

Laughs in Queer is a monthly open-mic event for all your 2SLGBT+/QTBIPOC comedy cravings!!

Taking place monthly at @slicevancouver, Hosted by Kay (@itsanewkay) from the Transgender Expressions Haven (@thehaven.lgbt), we're here to bring you a space to meet friends, laugh, and try standup with each other in a safe community environment ✨

Whether you've never written a joke before or are an aspiring stand-up superstar, Kay is passionate about making comedy accessible, and will support you however she can if you're thinking about bringing something to the stage! 💖

This month is Halloween themed ish, so regale of tales of hilarious hauntings and come dressed to impress and win $50 at our funniest joke costume contest!! We’re looking for low effort puns, half-finished drag, and transgender cross-cross-cross dressing, with all participants getting one-line to explain their costume.

Laughs in Queer starts with a 1 hr drop-in social. This is where you can in to spend some time writing, chatting, and exploring your comedic ideas with each other or our lovely host! Then at 7:00 PM begins our open mic, where folks are encouraged to get up on stage to show their stuff. Even if you only have one joke, we want you on stage to tell it!! 🎤

We will also have a camera set-up and will be happy to help you tape any material you want for demo tapes or social media content! 📷

Drinks are available to folks to order at any point in the night! 🍹

DOORS OPEN - 6:00PM (Feel free to come early to write, grab a drink or chat!)

OPEN MIC START - 7:00 PM

Tickets are $15-25 sliding scale or PWYC at Slice of Life Art Gallery

Looking forward to live/laugh/loving with all of ya'll soon!!

ANY JOKES FEATURING HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA, RACISM, SEXISM OR ANY OTHER FORM OF OPPRESION ARE STRICTLY NOT WELCOME.

The goal of Laughs in Queer is to create space where folks can share their own stories and experience through comedy to help connect a build a more loving and joyful community. Comedy with intention to put people down or make fun of an identity you do not personally hold will be removed from the space.
