✨ Queer Joy, Open Mics & Community Magic — all to help a queer artist stay in the UK. ✨
Join us on Thursday 26 June at the Forest Tavern in Forest Gate for an unforgettable evening of queer creativity, connection, and community care. This Open Mic Fundraiser is raising vital funds to help our host, Caro Vinden, a queer actor and theatre-maker from Norway, apply for their UK Graduate Visa after finishing their MA in Acting at East 15.
This is a donate if you can event— all proceeds go directly to Caroline’s visa fund. Whether you donate £3 or £30, your support helps them stay and continue making radical, community-rooted theatre in the UK. Any donation over 50£ gives you a free personal painted portrait of either a person or your pet!
To donate please refer to this GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/ae82e49b
Expect a joyful, welcoming space where queer voices take centre stage. We’ll have:
🎤 Open mic performances — poetry, music, comedy, storytelling & more
🎟️ Raffle prizes and donation opportunities-any donation gives entry to raffle
💖 A whole lot of queer joy and solidarity
