Lucy Best and Michele Da Costa Host Queer Comedy Variety Nights
Performances are 30 March - 1 April and 6 April - 8 April.
Lucy Best (UK) and Michele da Costa (Brazil) established BiLife in 2022, in an effort to raise awareness of the bisexual lifestyle and its potential benefits to you, and your loved ones.
Thanks to the success of the BiLife campaign, Lucy and Michele are producing a series of Queer comedy variety nights as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023. Bringing together a bunch of funny folk from the LGBTIQA+ community. That's it. They're all queer. There might be a token straight person, in the interests of inclusivity.
Join Lucy and Michele for a night of laughter at UBQ - Downstairs and enjoy some of the best established and up-and-coming comedy acts. You may experience sketch and stand-up comedy, along with some musical delights and definitely a lot of laughter.
BiLife Founders, Lucy and Michele will be joined each night by four guest comedians.
Whatever your preference, there's sure to be something for everyone. That's the BiLife Lifestyle guarantee.
