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, and spoken word, 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.
After two sold-out events in Sydney last year we are coming to Melbourne, by popular demand, to hear from our talented local Jewish artists. MCed by comedian Tami Sussman, see below for the fantastic line up of musicians, writers and comedians in our community.
Details:
📅 7pm arrival for a 7:30pm sharp start
