Jewish & ….

An evening to celebrate our multiple identities through comedy, music, spoken word and open mic.

This event is now sold out but you are welcome to join the waitlist in case tickets become available.

In a world that so often wants to see us in black and white — this is a night for the technicolour, the in-between, the both/and.

Join us for a night of comedy, music, spoken word, and open mic, where we celebrate the beauty of being many things at once. Jewish and queer, Jewish and creative, Jewish and isolated…or whatever Jewish &... means to you.

Don't miss creative artist and musician Sara Yael in Sydney! She will share her sultry vocals with some raw acoustic songs. MC Tami Sussman and many other talented comedians, musicians, authors and poets in our community.
