On Friday, May 3rd, Brisbane Powerhouse will be illuminated with the vibrant colours of the LGBTQI+ community as it hosts “Thank God You’re Queer,” a fabulous gay twist on Australia’s most successful improvised show.
This event promises a joyous celebration of queer life, turning heteronormativity on its head while maintaining a playful spirit.
Queer Celebration: Thank God You’re Queer
Featuring Brisbane’s finest LGBTQI+ improvisers, the show will delve into a kaleidoscope of scenes inspired by the real-life queer experiences of the audience.
But here’s the twist: each scene will include a special guest improviser who may be exploring queer territory for the first time—yes, they’re all straight.
As they navigate the colourful world of queer improv, these guest improvisers are sure to bring laughter, awkwardness, and genuine attempts to be good allies.
“It’s stupid, silly, and a whole lot of gay fun!” remarks Stage Whispers about the show, highlighting its whimsical nature and infectious humor. “Thank God You’re Queer” promises to be packed with imaginative flights of fancy and laugh-out-loud moments, offering a unique blend of entertainment that celebrates the diversity and vitality of queer life.
