More Info
Welcome to In Other Words’ very first Pride Spectacular, where you will find fierce poetry and it is a warm, welcoming space for all. We’re not giving you one headline act.
Not two.
But THREE because queer people don’t believe in doing the bare minimum.
Expect an evening of poetry that will make you laugh, cry, question your ex or text your crush. Whether you’re a sonnet sweetheart, a spoken word icon, or want to show up for the LGBTQ+ community, this is for you!
Come celebrate the brilliance, chaos, and glittering humanity of the LGBTQ+ community, surrounded by words that hit harder than your last situationship.
Big performances
Bigger feelings
Biggest energy
Tickets are waiting… and unlike your crush, they will absolutely commit.
Grab yours now before they vanish faster than straight people at a drag brunch.
