Shout is an all year-round creative programme, here are some of the events we're working on and invite you to join us.

Talk of the Town

15 Jul 2025 - 18 Nov 2025
The Edge

Talk of the Town is a queer open night where the personal, political and petty all collide — a space to share the too real, the too funny, the too tender, the too much. It's less tumbleweed open mic night vibe— it’s giving more gossip with your babs at the smoking area, plus a mic & a cute audience.

Catwalk Extravaganza

18 Oct 2025
Birmingham Hippodrome

Fierce Fashions – Luscious Lip syncs – Delectable Dance and a splash of the XXX factor are all on show in this spectacular event. Born out of Queer Black Joy, Catwalk Extravaganzas are exploding around the UK to sell-out crowds.

Grand Union

Join us for April’s Digbeth First Friday, as artists explore what the gentrification of Digbeth means for sex and intimacy, what happens to the ‘margins’ that have fostered sweaty human connections, and navigate the precarity of spaces where humans are free to make and seek a whole range of experiences- sexual and emotional.
