May we gather at this venue to bring laughter to the many things which also bring tears. I wanna focus on the great jokes this year has brought. the great accomplishments heightened by laughter

I would love for this to be the meeting point, for everyone to check in, for me to check out. I hope all those who have brought joy and laughter to my life feel it in their own. To my dear friends invited to this space, enjoy joy. prioritise BLA(C)K presences when the intention is for Bla(c)k healing.

I pay respect to the fucking deadly humour Mob across this country have greeted me in. thank you for cutting through shit so quick, for the nuances, the roast for every occasion.
May we celebrate you. May we prioritise BLAK JOY

(if this is your first time):
Open mic stand up comedy.
callin people to come thru and crack jokes. if you're shy, you can even make a video//poem//skit - whatever floats your boat.
but in all honestly, whoever wants to tell a story just needs to ask for the mic

... but you can also register your name on the registration sheet from 7PM - 8pm (so we know who wants to hop on the mic).

be conscious of the language you use; the tools powerful enough to paint over the blank can also paint over the depicted
____

*This event has been made particularly for the bla(c)k folks. Other communities of colour/friends are also welcomed to the event (as long as you've critically reflected on the anti-blackness within every facet of your societies)
