Tomorrow's improv workshop is part of Dundee Play Festival and features improv legend STEVE WORSLEY!

Steve Worsley was a founding member of the award winning improv troupe Men With Coconuts, and as a voice artist has narrated over 70 audiobooks for best-selling authors such as Stuart MacBride and Peter May. Steve has been improvising for 15 years now, and to this day it’s still his favourite form of performance.

Come along to learn new improv techniques or just have fun. No experience needed!

Improv jam was class 👏

Reminder it's not on next week because of New Material Night but it IS on with an amazing guest teacher the week after, come along!

It's been a year since we started Un-Hushed.

When we started we got funding for a year, which means I now have to write a report on whether it was "successful".

How do you measure the success of a q***r poetry night? I have no idea. No one does.

But it's probably something to do with the people I connected with through these nights, so I'm gonna talk about some of them.

First is Jenny. I met her about a year ago and she mentioned she'd read her poetry once. I've since seen her read at dozens of nights, including at a zine launch in Glasgow where we were published together. She's brilliant and getting better all the time, and I'm so proud of her.

Yesterday she made me download Finch, an app where a cartoon penguin gets gifts when I brush my teeth, and the app confirmed we're friends.

I have no idea how to explain this to a funder.

in St Andrew's tonight was a delight!

Thanks to and for letting me read things, and to and for reading their own beautiful things first.

TONIGHT!

See y'all there xox

IMPROV JAM TONIGHT!
