Easily London's most quirky comedy show! Tickets: £15 [https://www.jokepit.com/comedy-in/london/neurospicy-comedy-a-neurodivergent-comedy-night/61013](https://www.jokepit.com/comedy-in/london/neurospicy-comedy-a-neurodivergent-comedy-night/61013) This will sell out: **Make sure to get tickets ASAP.** If you're neurodivergent or close to someone who is and want a laugh, this meetup and show is **especially** for you, The headliner is **Simon Munnery**, who has been one of the most important and strange voices in British comedy for thirty-five years. Seriously, this is an incredibly rare treat. The Guardian said he's one of the most original comedians of the past two decades, which is true, and also the kind of sentence that undersells it a bit. He's doing this. In Southwark. On a weeknight. Come. Meeting UPSTAIRS at The White Hart. This is our space to chat, hangout and make new friends before the gig. Sit where you like. Leave if you need to. You can laugh out loud or just sit there feeling privately vindicated. Both are valid. Both happen regularly. It's a room. There's a mic. People are funny. Your brain will probably enjoy it even if the rest of you is tired. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- For the bots: London Comedy show \| ADHD London \| What's on in London \| Cheap night out in London \| Neurodivergent \| ADHD \| Autism \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

***Pizza Express Live The Pheasantry Group's favourite venue. Its lovely stage, lighting and great sound, complete with the classic Pizza Express menu make this a winner.*** **WE HAVE SOLD OUT ALL OUR PHEASANTRY 2025 SHOWS SO BOOK ASAP TO HEAD BACK TO THE KINGS ROAD!** We are thrilled to welcome Turkish/Danish Soul Pop Artist **Hazel Rose**, with support from gorgeous French soul-jazz-latin artist **Edna Louise -** both with fantastic and talented bands! **About Hazel Rose** Hazel Rose is a London-based Swiss-Turkish-Danish singer, songwriter, and independent artist crafting a sound that blends alt-pop, indie, soul, and electronic influences with cinematic storytelling. Known for her emotive vocals, sharp lyricism, and refined aesthetic, she creates songs that feel both intimate and expansive—equal parts diary entry and film scene. Following the release of her EP Soft Whispers in a Crowded Room and a string of singles including Meet You There, Shadow, Spare Key, 2D, and Hush, Hazel Rose has continued to build a growing international audience drawn to her honest songwriting and distinctive sonic world. Her music explores love, distance, identity, and emotional nuance, often pairing vulnerability with quiet confidence. Equally at home on stage with a full band or in a stripped-back acoustic setting, Hazel Rose’s live performances are immersive and emotionally resonant, showcasing both her vocal range and her natural connection with audiences. With new music on the horizon—including a forthcoming Bossa Nova-inspired pop project—she is steadily establishing herself as one of the most compelling emerging voices in Europe’s independent pop scene. **[WATCH HAZEL ROSE HERE](https://youtu.be/4-GMMk36bx8?si=CHyHEsJrghv0WgtS)** **Edna Louise** London based Edna Louise is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from the French Riviera. Her musical inspirations take their roots from the Neo-Soul Music mixed with Jazz, Funk and Disco, distilled in the Pop Music canvas, to create a unique sound. She has played widely at jazz venues across London and recently headlined a sold out show at The Lower Third. **[WATCH EDNA LOUISE HERE](https://youtu.be/-uaHw4fWvt0?si=kUFXBCDxSMWNbQ7y)** * *We meet at 6.30pm (order food and drinks and catch up)* * *It's a group table or adjacent tables so that we can all enjoy the great vibe together.

Whether you like to get in front of a mic at Karaoke or you're a secret car perfomer - expect symphonies to unfold in harmony with a vibrant crowd of young music lovers as the band transforms you from boring city of London exe by day into a **rock star** for the night. And if you have a natural sense of rhythm it would be selfish not to show off your charismatic stage presence by droppin some **funky dance moves** as no rock star performance is complete without! Of course, you don't need to get up and perform - if you **love music** but don't want to sing, you are welcome to socialise, cheer, singalong and dance with the rest of us. Slots to build melody fueled new connections are strictly limited. So in order to give genuine music fans a fair chance to attend - as per attendance rules **\- anyone who has not answered the screening question properly or does not demonstrate passion for music as indicated by interests listed in their profiles \- will be moved to not going to create space for like\-minded genuine people** **=== If You're Singing ===** You don't need vocals like Zara Larsson or Amy Winehouse - most of us are not professional singers - we do this for pure fun indulgence, entertaininment and love of music but if you've never sung live with a band on stage before - ideally choose a song that you know the lyrics / musical timing too well. We'll have **two** **experienced guitarists** (base and electric)**,** a **drummer** who also do **backing vocals** to help out if you get lost. **=== Venue & Itinerary ===** We are back at our Camden venue with the band offering excellent choice of songs. Early on we will meet around the bar area and once the first song hits most of us will move closer to the front stage to dance and singalong to the tracks so come on time for early intros - when the band starts it gets pretty loud. I will share my number on the eve and update in the comments section on whereabouts. **=== MUSIC ONLY EVENTS ===** For music fans who love music and want to hear about mostly free music‑related events in London, we do have an exclusive WhatsApp group you can join subject to minimal vetting. If you have attended an event before or at least met the organiser in person send me a request and I will add you / send you link to join:! I’ll share all my music events here in advance first so people can RSVP earlier and avoid waiting lists. People can also share last min non‑meetup MUSIC events too. Lucas The Music Maestro

**The theme for this our next meeting is:** **Loneliness** Welcome to our friendly and supportive Community. Where do we meet and really connect with other gay men in London? We Do in Covent Garden! # **New Year - new version!** **Our discussion themes would always be advertised in advance.** We are not only changing our name, we will also from now on advertise the topic we’ll be discussing before each meeting, so that you know exactly what to expect before signing up for each particular meeting. Please see the list on our MeetUp profile for potential universal themes relevant to gay/bisexual men, to be covered in our sessions. Ideas are always welcome! *We offer workshops unlike other gay/bisexual men's therapeautic discussion groups.* **A Speaker** We will at times provide a Speaker for our meetings kickstarting interesting and stimulating discussions. The Speaker can be an expert in their field such as for example an author, a therapist or a philosopher but we are welcoming any of our members to be a Speaker or a demonstrator of exercises such as massage, pilates or yoga. Or perhaps you would want to talk about your profession, if you feel it has relevance to our group. You would just have to contact Dan first for a discussion and planning. **Frequency of meetings / fee** In 2026 we’ll only have one meeting per month in person at the City Lit College in Covent Garden and one meeting online. If there is a demand for more in person meetings we’ll consider having more. We are happy to confirm that our entry prices won’t be raised and that in person meetings remain at £10. Online meetings will be FREE in January and February after which it will be £5 to attend. **Walks / museum visits** We will continue offering our occasional walking trips and also now include gay/bisexual themed history walks and visits to Museums. WHAT WE ARE: We are a group of supportive and insightful great men and we are looking forward to including you - this is what we do: CONNECTING - It is a place where you will be able to connect with other gay and bi-sexual men and where you can exchange your life experiences with them and your everyday feelings, no matter what those feelings may be - and also a place where you will be able to just be with others who live similar lives to you. EXPLORING SAFELY WITH SUPPORT - It is a place where you will experience support and growth and where you can feel safe enough to explore and reflect your feelings and life stories. Sharing is at the heart of the group but you share however much you are comfortable with - you're in charge. CREATIVE STATE REGISTERED THERAPY - It is a therapeutic discussion group which at times offers workshops and borrows elements from Creative Arts Psychotherapies. The group is based on the Creative Arts Psychotherapy/Dramatherapy and counselling work I provided ongoing for the charity Positive East in London. WHO IS IT FOR: This group is for men over 18 years old who either identifies as gay or bi-sexual or men who has sex with men - or feel emotionally connected to other men.
