See you in the Pit with 15 of Halifax’s Best Burlesque and Drag Performers and 2 Live Bands - The Kids from Yesterday (My Chemical Romance tribute band) and Paraless (Paramore tribute band). We also have everyone’s favourite emo baddie from east coast emo night on the deck @shellingwolf.
Reminisce on your warped tour days and join us for an unforgettable night stacked with entertainment and vendors.
Headlining the evening is the incredible (and bisexual!) Conner Christmas, a comedic talent who’s been making waves across Canada and beyond. Originally from Alberta (but definitely not a cowboy), Conner’s performances are a unique blend of high-energy, whimsical humor and sharp self-deprecation. Whether you know him from his roles on Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, and CBC, or his acclaimed appearances at festivals like Just for Laughs (Montreal + Toronto) as a New Face of Comedy (2022), Conner is guaranteed to keep you laughing all night long.
It’s time for the first HEIST Takeover of 2025 - Hot, dry and cozy! Join us for a night of music, drag, burlesque and more. Special guest performers to be announced next week!We’re taking over the lower level of the Sanctuary Arts Centre for a full on intimate hygge event - candles, pillows, games, and community! Shake off those winter blues, get out of your house and feel the HEIST warmth!
In an effort to include more of our community, this HEIST Takeover will be a dry event so why not extend your dry January for a bit more! We will have plenty of non-alcoholic options and a special HEIST Hot Chocolate station!
HEIST aims to create vibrant anti-colonial spaces where creativity and identities are authentically nourished, celebrated and affirmed. These ephemeral Takeover spaces are queerly playful with genre/gender-bending at heart!
