A 10 step programme.....about loneliness and shame.
I know, how embarrassing.
Join us for our 10 step programme to help you BEAT loneliness once and for all. Enter our dazzling dreamscape where you’ll encounter washed-up cabaret acts, Cheryl dance numbers & a suite of lonely queer characters.
We’ll share in the discomfort and shame of loneliness, through a glitzy chorus line, over a cuppa, under your covers.
Cos everyone is lonely. Everyone’s mental health is in the bin, but it's nothing a lil bit of self care capitalism can’t solve, come join the party babes.
