Queerapalooza

Wednesday, October 28

Thursday, October 29

We are reviving a historic event which will be held at Louis’ where the LGBTQ2S+ community can gather in a safe place to mingle while we learn about Saskatchewan Queer History together through trivia based on the University of Saskatchewan Library’s Neil Richards Collection of Sexual and Gender Diversity, followed by live comedy. This FREE event is in collaboration with the USSU Pride Centre for Queer History Month in October, during Queerapalooza.

• 6 pm to 7 pm: Mingling – light snacks and non alcoholic beverages will be provided

• 7 pm to 8 pm: Be sure to do your homework and watch the Saskatchewan Queer History video made with Dr. Candice Klein:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KARQe2Q-NCA&t=275s before trivia hosted by Sapphic Saturday hosts Ivanna Beer and Laura Froese. This video features visuals and research from the Neil Richards fonds. Please bring a device for trivia on Kahoot.

• 8 pm to 9 pm: Comedy show featuring veteran comedians and some time slots for new comedians to try their “tight fives”

Please feel free to dress up in your fruitiest attire and form your trivia teams!
