This June, Second Tuesday Monologues is celebrating the loud, tender, and radical power of QUEER JOY. 🌈🎉
Whether it’s belly laughs with chosen family, soft moments of self-love, or dancing till sunrise—come revel in stories that centre queer delight, resilience, and unapologetic pleasure. Expect a night full of heart, humour, and the kind of joy that refuses to be quiet.

🛋️ After the performances, we settle in for an open group discussion.
🎟️ FREE ENTRY – but pre-booking is highly recommended!
🍸 Support The Common Press – grab a drink from the bar and enjoy the night!
🐶 Dog-friendly venue
♿ Fully wheelchair accessible (entrance via Common Press Bookshop, additional level-access available)

About our FREE events
💜 Our events are free to ensure they remain accessible to our communities. However, organizing them comes with costs. If you'd like to support our work, please consider donating via this link.
💜 To make sure as many people as possible can attend, we ask that you cancel your ticket if you can no longer make it. Failing to show up without prior cancellation takes a spot from someone else and wastes resources, including food and venue costs. We track attendance, and individuals who miss three events without cancelling will be unable to register for our future events. Please be considerate and let us know if you can’t attend.
💜 To ensure a smooth and respectful experience for everyone, please arrive on time. Our events are not drop-in sessions, meaning attendees must arrive at the start time and stay for the duration. We allow a 10-minute grace period for late arrivals - after that, entry will not be permitted as it can be disruptive to the group. Additionally, the entrance is not monitored after the grace period, so there will be no one available to let latecomers in. The event hours are clearly stated in the description, so please plan accordingly. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a welcoming space for all!
💜 Alongside this, we appreciate it if you could respond to any communication by the given response deadline so we can make the necessary arrangements for the event.
