Special Guest are back with another very special, exciting collab with Peng Femme Jam!
It’s still one mic, one minute, but with a musical twist as the Peng Femme Jam house band will be jamming on stage and responding to whatever you share and do!
Huh?
Special Guest is the open mic night where anything goes. Anyone can take the stage to share anything for 60 seconds. Expect creative talks, shower thoughts, true stories, hidden talents, deep and meaningfuls, and much more.
How it works:
Listen, clap, cheer. Support your fellow special guests.
Sit back, listen, and enjoy the ride.
If you want to, you can take the mic to share anything for 60 seconds. It's optional.
Previously, members of the audience have taken the mic to… share their grandmother’s wisdom, say what they wish they’d said to their ex, dance, announce a surprise holiday, apologise to their vagina, play the nose flute, pun on command, ask for a hug, reveal a tattoo of Phil Mitchell, share their life motto, fulfil their dream to crowdsurf, source baby name suggestions, observe a minute of silence, form a human pyramid, serenade the audience, thank their dad, hand out free plantain, and much more.
Peng Femme Jam is a live-music jam session, for peng people, highlighting & nurturing femme talent!
Peng Femme Jam (PFJ) was born as a reaction to the male-dominated music/jam scene in London, and designed as a gender-diverse live, improvised event. We aim to create an inclusive and nurturing space for women, queer, and trans global majority musicians to play together and build their musicianship, nurture their creativity and reach their potential as self-sufficient artists/musicians.
