Queerstories

There’s more to being queer than coming out and getting married.

Queerstories returns to Brisbane Comedy Festival once more for a stellar line-up of unexpected tales—stories of pride, prejudice, resilience and resistance—delivered with warmth and humour by some of Australia’s best LGBTIQ+ comedians alongside incredible local storytellers.

Vulnerable and powerful, hilarious and heartbreaking, Queerstories celebrates the culture and creativity of the LGBTIQ+ community, one true story at a time. A national storytelling project directed by Maeve Marsden, Queerstories has sold out at festivals and independent venues around the country, with a book and an award-winning podcast boasting more than 400 stories. All Queerstories events are Auslan interpreted.

With Daniel Bruschweiler, Paff Evara, Mary Duong, Darby Jones and more to be announced, this year’s Brisbane show is set to be another unforgettable night.   

“The Brisbane Queerstories shows are the most fun (though don’t tell the others!). We always have hundreds of people, but it somehow still feels warm and intimate, and I often find myself in conversation with a random member of the crowd. No one can deliver a supportive, loving heckle like a Brisbane queer!” – Maeve Marsden
