FRESH, EXCITING, SHOW-STOPPING, NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE, GROUNDBREAKING, SOUL-SHAKING, HEARTBREAKING TALENT!
The Enby Show are so excited to announce we are returning to Manchester with the first ever northern Enby ShowCase!! providing opportunities for trans and non-binary live performers up north to experiment, try new stuff or even take to the stage for the first time… Join us for a Friday night party supporting and celebrating some of the freshest and most exciting talent to be taking the performing scene by storm!
We all know trans and enby talent is hugely underrepresented in live performance - we deserve BETTER!! This is a chance to steal the spotlight, show ourselves off, and a safe space where we love chaos and embrace the mistakes. It's a trans-centred fun-funky-fresh night of community, laughing, cheering and finger-snapping with shows and lot of laughs.
Basically: let's support and uplift one another so more of us can become superstars and take over the world!

ABOUT THE ENBY SHOW
As recommended by TimeOut London… The Enby Show is a chaotic gender-defiant performance collective bringing together the creme-de-la-thems of cabaret, creating variety shows popping with trans & non-binary finery in solo and group spectaculars. Established in 2020, they've performed up and down the country on stages big and small; from national Prides to basement bars, from West End stages to karaoke venues, they've graced all kinds of spaces with their enby excellence. Expect the unexpected and f*ck the cis-tem.

Limited tickets will be available on the door for £15, payments accepted by cash or card. Book in advance for cheaper tickets!
Pay-it-forward tickets are for people who cannot actually attend, but would love to support the show/the work we do at The Enby Show by buying a ticket anyway. This will also help subsidise free tickets for those who cannot afford to pay.

ACCESS INFO
The Brewers has gender neutral toilets, but is not wheelchair accessible and has a staircase down to get into the venue. This show will contain flashing lights, haze and loud music. Free +1 tickets are available for carers. If you have any questions regarding access, please email theenbyshow@gmail.com.
This show is running a NOTAFLOF (not turned away from lack of funds) scheme. If you want to attend this event but are struggling to pay, please email theenbyshow@gmail.com with the subject line 'NOTAFLOF' and we will sort something for you - no questions asked or explanations needed.
There will be a ‘Care Bear’ in attendance at this event in charge of keeping it a safe space, so if you are thinking of going alone and want someone to chat to, or even just stand silently next to - find the person wearing bear ears/who will be pointed out at the start of the show! They are also there to help resolve any problems in the space - whether that's someone acting inappropriately, any issue with the show or venue, or if you find something triggering/need to talk something through, they are there to help you handle the situation with tact and care.
Please note The Enby Show is a safe space for all LGBTQ+ people and allies - come as you are, and you will be celebrated. However, transphobia (including misgendering), homophobia, racism, misogyny or any other form of hate speech will not be tolerated under any circumstances - and we reserve the right to ask disrespectful audience members to leave without refund.
