Bi & Beyond Mixer
No matter your relationship preferences or the type of connection you are looking for, THIS is the event for you. Mix and mingle with like-minded people and see where the conversation goes. Meet 2S/LGBTQIA+ 'singles' from across Nova Scotia.
Do you know what a Lock & Key Mixer is? Before you start balking at the thought of a 70’s throwback and a very large bowl filled with everyones keys, I'm sorry to say this is not that kind of event... ;) Lock and Key is a really straight forward way to make sure everyone mingles without the need for awkward silences. In a nut shell, half of the room gets keys and the other half gets locks. Meet as many people as you can and see if your lock and key are a match. If the lock opens the lucky couple will come to us and be entered into a draw for the potential to win the door prize. You then get either a lock or key (the opposite of what you had last time) and away you go again.
Tickets: $30 + taxes/fees. This event is 25+. More details can be found on the ticket site.

Everyone's favorite "clown in a gown", Bianca Del Rio, is returning to the stage with a new comedy show, aptly titled "Dead Inside".
This will be the seasoned comic's sixth, worldwide stand-up comedy tour. Bianca will be entertaining the masses with her iconic lightning-fast wit and razor-sharp tongue. Her new show will cover politics, pop culture, political correctness, current events, cancel culture, and everyday life through the eyes of someone who's "dead inside" and finds humor in everything. As with all of her shows, there will be lots of audience interaction. When the "Joan Rivers of the Drag World" has a microphone in her hands, no one is safe!!
Tickets: Start at ~$49.00 + fees and taxes, available online. VIP packages available. Doors open at 7pm, show begins at 8pm.
