About the show:
Queers and Fears is a wickedly funny sketch comedy revue where the monsters are gay, the closets have skeletons, and the only thing we have to fear is our own internalized homophobia. From cursed hookups to ghost stories about being ghosted, this spooky celebration of queer survival blends sharp satire with blood-stained glitter. Come laugh, scream, and sashay into the shadows-because in this show, pride is a scream.
