Be Our Jest is Big Gay Piano Bar’s community showcase dedicated to songs that are actually funny. From outrageous character numbers and sharp comedy songs to ridiculous patter, satire and musical theatre deep cuts, this is a night for performers who know how to land a punchline.
Join John Milligan at the piano and a lineup of fabulous performers for community showcase performances mixed with spontaneous Big Gay Piano Bar fun. Come to support your friends, discover hilarious performers, grab a drink and enjoy musical theatre that refuses to take itself too seriously.
Doors open at 6pm. Show starts at 7pm, with the evening finishing at 10pm.
Interested in performing? Performers are selected by video submission. Visit gaypianobar.com/community for details and deadlines.
