Word of Muff* has been 20% Less’ attempt to steal back the stage time from the straight, white, cis male for the past three years... COVID-19 and isolation have stolen the stage from everyone, but they won’t be put down! Now is the time to pivot, and start stealing back those online platforms!
Word of Muff: Tight Spaces will be a chat show and a platform where comedians can try those jokes they’re still putting down, while also showcasing their tried and tested work.
Where: Twitch.TV on https://www.twitch.tv/marianasbits - please ignore the event location. You'll be watching us from your isolation pods, not at The Book Club.
When: Every Wednesday in April 8PM
Tickets: You’ll be able to watch for free and we welcome all the LOLs and reactions you can share with us through Twitch.TV. We’ll have a donation link set up, for those in a position to donate, and we’ll share all the profits with the acts that will take part in this new experimental endeavour.
