Launch: Queer Open Mic

Welcome to V.enus Afterdark a night of unfiltered queer brilliance, messy metaphors, and gorgeous performance energy. This isn’t just an open mic. It’s a glitter-fuelled, tear-inducing, soul-affirming night of drag, burlesque, stand-up, rap, poetry, music, and more.

🌈 What’s the vibe?
A celebration of queer voices, soft hearts, loud art, and horny nuance. Expect to laugh, cry, maybe fall in love with someone mid-sonnet, and absolutely leave with glitter in your shoes.

💋 Who’s it for?
The gays, the they's, the bi babes, the sapphics, the questioning, the heartbroken romantics, the ex-stalking poetry lovers, the drama queers, the shy singers, and everyone in between. Allies welcome -just don’t make it weird.

🎟️ Tickets:

£7 Early Bird - limited, like good communication.

£10  General Admission - still iconic.

£12 Final release- Better late than never

📍 WHERE: The Nightingale club, Birmingham Kent street, B5 6RD
🗓️ WHEN: 1st August, Doors at 7:30PM, Show starts at 8PM sharp
👀 BRING: Your loudest clap, softest heart, and maybe a pen in case someone reads something that makes you want to write them a love letter after.

⚠️ Content Warning: Queer joy, emotional whiplash, slutty metaphors, and poetry that makes you text your ex.
