Queer, As In Funny

A celebration of some of the funniest LGBTQIA people of the planet.

Kitty Messalina is a comedic triple threat - a queer woman of colour. Her unique perspectives on prejudice, promiscuity and polyamory quickly earned her a nomination as a Finalist for the NCF New Act of the Year Award 2019. She is currently working on her debut solo show, "Is This Thing Turned On?" where she ponders identity politics, problematic crushes and Alexander Hamilton.
 
Sam Serrano is a gender fluid, dyspraxic comedian has been taking the circuit by storm. A regular in clubs across the UK Sam’s unique trademark style that is dark and self deprecating in equal measure has seen them become a favourite with bookers. It has also seen Sam provide tour support for Brennan Reece and perform an incredible five solo hour shows at Hot Water Comedy Club, Nottingham Comedy Festival & Leicester Comedy Festival.
 

More comedians announced soon.
