Queer Diary
June 6 @ 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
£4 – £6
The night where LGBTQ+ folks read REAL teenage diaries, poetry, fanfiction and more!
“If a Queer Diary event was scheduled on the Moon, the most anti-capitalist queers would be befriending Bezos in hopes of securing a rocket ride.” – DIVA Magazine
A handful of brave queer folk take to the mic to re-tell tales from their formative years in the name of nostalgia, solidarity, celebration.
Join us for an evening of earnest journal entries, long-lost love letters, fabulous fan-fiction stories, terrible Tumblr posts, and possibly the odd bit of cringey poetry…
At Queer Diary the goths, the punks, the emos, the nerds, the glee-clubbers (and maybe a few populars?) come together as grown-ups, to share our younger selves’ innermost thoughts. We can’t promise to reunite you with your first crush, but we do aim to reignite that rush of adrenaline you got when they first noticed you.
Got something from your teens to share?
Queer Diary is an open-mic event – LGBTQIA+ adults of all identities & ages are encouraged to sign up. Bring us your diaries (or whatever you wrote in your youth!)
Sign up in advance to guarantee your spot on the mic: bit.ly/queerdiary
Audiences say:
“It’s like that ‘Mortified’ podcast – but all queer!”
“Very welcoming to all identities.”
“A joy to be a part of.”
