🎭 LGBTQ+ Theatre Night – Some Masterchef Sh*t 🎭 You are required to purchase your own ticket but we have an exclusive booking code for discount (ADAM20) which is case sensitive. [Tickets](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/vaultcreativearts/2159061) Join us for a night at the theatre as we check out Some Masterchef Sht* — a dark comedy that blends queer storytelling, uncomfortable laughs, and one of the most shocking true crime inspirations in modern memory. Two men meet after only speaking online. Coffee is ordered. Small talk flows. The tension builds. Is it a date? A hook-up? An interview? Not quite. Using a queer lens to reimagine one of the most infamous crimes in recent history, Some Masterchef Sht *explores loneliness, connection, mental health, people-pleasing, and how far someone might go in the name of “doing something nice”. Expect: ✨ Dark comedy 🌈 Queer storytelling 😳 Taboo topics handled with humour 🎭 Award-winning writing ☕ Post-show chats (optional!) Winner of the audience-voted favourite play at OffCut Manchester and following successful runs in Manchester and Edinburgh Fringe, this is the London debut production. 🍻 Pre-social from 6PM We’ll meet beforehand at Vaulty Towers for drinks and introductions before walking together to the theatre. New people especially welcome — hosts available for intros. 📍 Pre-social: Vaulty Towers 🎭 Show Venue: The Glitch, SE1 7AE 🚶 Short walk from pre-social to venue together ⏰ Please arrive on time so we can head over as a group As always, this is a social event first — theatre is just the icebreaker. **Join the whatsapp for updates before and during the event.** https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYxo1GonGIbIvLlS6CpG8S

PS, if you've been before, please take a minute to complete my survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NZSZD88 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/menusofconversation/ and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/New-Conversation-104308482323373 **Event Description** This is a social event where people have the chance to have a one-to-one conversation with someone they may or may not have met before using a 'conversation menu' (picture attached). A conversation menu is a list of pre-written conversation starter questions which participants use to have a conversation by discussing the different questions. The questions are generally about some of life's big questions and lead to some interesting conversations about important, fundamental topics which we certainly don't get the opportunity to discuss every day. Some might consider our events to be 'small-talk free zones'. The event brings people together and invites people to discuss topics and answer questions they don't get to discuss on a daily basis, especially with people they don't know. The idea is that the more we talk about topics we don't normally talk about, to people we don't normally talk to in our habitual social circles, the more opportunities, connections and possibilities we create for ourselves. If we discuss different topics with different people, then we achieve different results. Testimonials for the events held so far include: 'For me it was a brilliant success and hopefully it will be for many others. It is a simple idea simply executed, asking people to pair up and discuss a number of questions on a list. And it works! Although I vaguely knew my partner, the questions allowed us time to touch on areas that I think we would have been otherwise unlikely to ever discuss e.g. which parts of your life have been a waste of time?' 'Surprisingly good and thoroughly worthwhile. Suggested questions excellent.' ‘I can heartily recommend coming along to a conversation event. The questions were really thought provoking and led to some fascinating conversations. I really enjoyed the evening and I came away with feeling I’d learned a lot from my conversation partner.” ‘I thought it was a very interesting meeting. I thought it was interesting to try to answer personal questions and listen to the other person.’

This delayed event will be in Hyde Park A good day to meet new people and have some fun. Relocation due to our chosen bar is under reconstruction The gig is an excuse to have a good time. Any new members who wish to contribute to leading the play are welcome. We all been to weddings and got the Candy wrong. one or two wise guys will go through the routine and the rest will follow. You will be better at weddings after this. Please join as participant and learn it so that you can teach us. Lets have a big laugh and make friends. The date may change depending on availability of ket Candy men.
