NOT THE NEWS FOR YOU'S— Big Queer Quiz of the Year
23 January 2025
9:30pm-1:30am
ABOUT
Fed up with Late Stage Capitalism crashing your party? Tired of news that never quite matches your style? Wanting to scream at the state of the world?
Then strap on in for NOT THE NEWS FOR YOU - BIG QUEER QUIZ OF THE YEAR edition. Where queer politics meets left-wing propaganda with a a whole lot of stupid. Join us as we wrap up this year, cry at how awful it was and re-organise for 2025.
Brace yourself for drag artist throwing shade at politicians, activists talking pop culture and the juiciest gay gossip that’s fresher than your morning oat latte (not from Starbucks).
Our fabulous host, (and your local communist drag king) Comrade May, will interview our guest panelists for their off-the-cuff and unfiltered opinions on current affairs. As well as introducing our fabulous new co-anchor, Dragona Budjet, who’ll report on the glamorous dissent of the world whilst looking fabulous and wearing red vinted heels.
But we don't stop at satire -we’ve got live performances from our panelists and mind-blowing acts from our guests. What more could you possibly ask for, comrade?
So, get ready to laugh your socialist socks off, cry at the state of the world, and cheer for the incredible queer talent on stage. We’re live and ready to light up The Yard with revolutionary flair!
It’s a Commie-nomenom you won’t want to miss!
And for the record, we’re not the BBC, so expect bias, flamboyance, and a serious lack of objectivity.
