See all- [SOLD OUT] π― F*ck the Small Talk (Leith) #6Edinburgh, Edinburgh
This event is now sold out. If you didn't grab your ticket, please note our next event takes place on Mon 29 Sep - more details soon!
F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, Malta, London, Lisbon, to Mexico City, and is now in back Edinburgh for season 2! π
π¦ WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is a one-of-a-kind social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. Itβs also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for an afternoon of games, talks, and connections with friends you havenβt met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Edinburgh every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. π
π HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few fun games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups (of 3-4) and start with the conversation rounds. We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. π

π WHAT THEY SAY
π£ βThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.β - Sonya
π£ βGreat way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!β - Matthias
π£ βF*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.β - Monika
π£ βI loved F*ck the Small Talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!β - Brenda
π£ "Itβs a wonderful experience, itβs like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe youβll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara
