VFD Queer Comedy Nights returns!
After the success of our initial run of shows supporting LGBTQIA+ comedians (in the run-up to Edinburgh Fringe) we've decided to continue our work providing space for WIP and warm-up shows.
We're excited to relaunch our nights with a work in progress from the wonderful Jen Ives & Derek Mitchell

THE GRIFTER
The UK is changing, and the queer, socially progressive stand up comedian and writer Jen Ives (Joe Lycett's Big Pride Party / Don't Hug Me I'm Scared) knows she must adapt to get ahead. Lo! Join her by lantern-light for an hour of real, actual 'conservative' comedy.
Jen Ives returns after her sold out debut Edinburgh show "PEAK TRANS' with an experimental new work in progress hour "THE GRIFTER".
Come, if ye dare.
'Great company' (Chortle.co.uk)
'Jen Ives is a wonderful comedian. I've discovered her comedy in recent years, and I can't get enough of it.' (James Acaster).
“Immoral” (the Guardian)
