What would ‘Grease’ look like chewed up and spat out by LGBTQ+ comedians, theatremakers, writers and musicians?
We’ve trapped our performers in the heteronormative world of musical ‘Grease’ and left them there to cause chaos! Come and see the glorious results!
Watch as our acts distort a high-school musical romcom into something ridiculous, beautiful or unrecognisable for your viewing pleasure. We have entrusted each one of them with a chunk of the film to re-enact, riff around, mash up or explode. There’s no way of telling what will happen.
FLIM NITE is a monthly experimental performance night based at Three Minute Theatre in Manchester's Northern Quarter. We’re in our fifth year and showing no signs of stopping.
We will not be showing a movie. We will be making a FLIM.
!!! LINE-UP TO BE ANNOUNCED !!!
Our open mic this month is open initially to participants of our WORKSHOP: Devising from film for LGBTQ+ participants! Stay tuned for more information.
“The group take a hammer to well-known films and smash them into something completely different – think a smorgasbord of musical interludes, a dab of poetry and an added bit of standup comedy. Trust us, it’s unlike any other night around!” - The Skinny
"With all the ramshackle pop-anarchism of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and the warmth, variety and bonhomie of a fringe arts night, FLIM NITE is going from strength to strength and is not to be missed." – NARC
‘Fast becoming one of the city’s best events. If you’ve never been to FLIM NITE, GO!’ – Manchester Wire
