bye bye 0800 ☎️ 💔
the rumours are true, after two years we’re putting you on hold ...
was gonna try and do a funny but am going to do a sincere because I’m so f*cking proud of what
@michaelmccomedy and I created. we started
@0800_comedy to create a space where LGBTQ+, female and gender non-conforming acts could feel safe and seen. somewhere camp, dumb and a bit silly. over the past two years we’ve showcased 100 acts, across two venues and donated lots of money to
@notaphaseorg 🏳️⚧️
a huge THANK YOU to all the acts, venues, audience members who’ve been part of our shows. a special shoutout to
@rhonicash who has kept Michael and I sane over the past few months and also took the reigns MCing our call centre when one of us (me) was out of action 💋 don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened (welp)
my biggest thank you goes to Michael. we barely knew each other when we started 0800, we knew even less about how to run a night. there’s truly nobody else I’d have had by my side in this and I think we can safely say that your Canva skills have blown other nights out of the water. yeah, I said it!
if you’re thinking about starting a night, do it. we might come back, we might not but for now, we’re sending you straight to voicemail x
