PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Vulnerable and fierce, hilarious and heartbreaking

Queerstories celebrates the culture and creativity of the LGBTQI+ community one true story at a time.

Featuring J.M Field, George Haddad, Bebe Oliver, K Patrick and Samantha Shannon, each guest is invited to share the story they want to tell, but are never asked to; unexpected tales of pride, prejudice, resilience and resistance.

An institution around the country, Queerstories has played to crowds big and small, from Mudgee to Murwillumbah, Albury to Adelaide, Brisbane and beyond, with an award- winning podcast featuring an archive of nearly 400 queer tales.
