  • GET OUT CABARET
    Oh boy, we’re excited for Get OUT Cabaret at Intrepid’s Metro Studio Theatre. This is the official preview night for OUTstages, Victoria’s own queer theatre festival that runs in late June, and it’s a great chance to get a sneak peek at what’s in store for next month. Hosted by Vivian Vanderpuss and Eddi Licious, it’s bound to be a wild time – get your tickets at Intrepid during the week or order them online at Ticket Rocket.
  • CRUSH 15
    If you’re in the mood to groove, CRUSH 15 has you covered – in glitter, that is. Bring your dancing shoes and get ready to rumble to some fantastic mixes from DJs Daradata and Thomas Promise. This event is 19+, and there is a suggested donation of $5-10.
  • QUEER AS FUNK
    If you’ve never seen Vancouver band Queer as Funk play live, their Spring Fling fundraiser is your chance. If (like us) you’ve seen them multiple times over, you know exactly what kind of fun you’re getting into. Alongside DJ Slade and stand-up comic Zane Oak, this is the spring event you won’t want to miss. Buy your early bird tickets here.
