OutFest - Knockout
Welcome to BFFtv, the only broadcast network that follows the nail-biting and soul-destroying competition of female friendship! We’re your hosts, Tim Mann and Steve Guy, and tonight we’re continuing to track the career of one Meg “Panic Attack” Warren in her final showdown against fan-favourite Blair “Chaotic Bisexual” Turner. This match is not one to miss, folks! There will be overanalyzed text messages, drunk girl conversations, and (maybe) even sexual tension. And one thing is for sure, there is no possibility that either competitor will make it out of this unscathed. On your marks, get set, go!
Tickets: Early bird, $12; general admission, $15.
