Queer Jokes at the Flynn

Have you heard the one about the
diesel-dyke, the gay man, and the
non-gender-identified comic who per-
formed for hundreds of queers and
breeders at the Flynnspace?
Probably not. Because it’s
a first. ‘

“It’s Queer Jokes at the
Flynn, Folks!” is the name of the first
show that the Flynnspace has hosted
with an evening of all queer standup
comedy. The description reads as fol-
lows: ‘

‘Twas the night before Pride
day, /And down at the Flynn, /The
queer comics come out. / Don’t you

want to get in?
‘ “Straight people are wel-
come,” said Jason Lorber, the produc-
- erof the event and one of the comedi-
ans performing. “No, really."

The event on Friday, July 9,
kicks off Pride weekend events. A -
gaggle of nonprofit organizations —
including the R.U.1.2. Queer
Community Center, Safespace,
Outright- Vermont, Mountain Pride
Media, VARF, Radical Faeries, and
the Vermont Freedom to Marry
Coalition — will offer brochures, litera-
ture, and an inside peek at what’s
queer in Vermont.

Lorber will be joined by
comics Daddy and Deb Renshaw for

community. compass

r

two performances, one at 7:30 p.m.
and the other beginning at 9:30 p.m.
'|"ickets are $12 at the door, with a $2
discount for tickets purchased in
advance through Flynn's website
(www.flynncenter.org/regional/jokes.ht
ml) or by phone at 802-863-5966.
There will be a cash bar, serving alco-
hol and soft drinks.

While this is their first time
performing together as a threesome;
Daddy, Lorber, and Renshaw, have
each performed separately throughout
Vermont and the U.S.A.
