"Becoming John Travulva" by Jodie Mitchell (6th July) - Book Now!
Performance Time: 7:30pm 
John Travulva teams up with his tick-box protégé: queer, non-binary class-straddler Jodie Mitchell (Comedy Central Live). But does he need to? He's not sure, he gets plenty of praise as himself: 'John Travulva’s set is so funny it makes all the comedy in my life up to this point redundant'.

"Mates" by Louise Atkinson (6th July) - Book Now!
Performance Time: 9:00pm 
You can never complete a night out with your friends unless someone has cried over their ex, you've all made a new best friend in the toilets that you'll never see again, and you've done three laps of the bar looking for Lisa. Seriously though, where is she?

"I wish this play was about a GIANT toad" presented by Banana School Collective (7th and 8th July) - Book Now!
Performance Time: 7:30pm 
When our face is squished up against the veil that separates us, how ugly and how beautiful do we become? 'I wish this was a play about a GIANT toad' is an exploration into the landscape of grief. (It's a kaleidoscopic fever dream for those who are wondering.) Someone very wise once said that "grief is love without a place to land." This play is where it will land.

"Conspiracy of Orphans" presented by Created a Monster (7th & 8th July) - Book Now!
Performance Time: 9:00pm 
Brother and Sister reel from a trauma that revisits them in fragments. It’s the first and last day of their lives as orphans together. In a surreal gulag-laboratory, they scrum towards freedom – whether through death, or the knitting together of memory as if flesh.
