Here’s hoping you’re fully basking in the long weekend, whether that means soaking up some much-deserved downtime or plotting your next dream into existence. Mine? Finally seeing Qveen Herby at the Vogue Theatre this month. Insert silent screaming emoji (there isn’t one, but you get the picture).

You ever have one of those artists who completely rewires your brain chemistry? That’s her for me. She’s campy, wild, and so iconically herself.

Speaking of something that’s campy, wild and unique… Allow me to introduce to Lip Service: a sex-positive, musical physical comedy of two larger-than-life vulva alter-egos navigating self-acceptance, empowerment, and doing-it-all. Laugh out loud at The Dance Centre on 5/30 and enter to win your way in!*

BEST EVENTS IN MAY
