Coming Out With Dr Who is an interactive comedy show at the Games Room, presented by S J Wyatt. Comedian and storyteller SJ brings a bittersweet show about how Doctor Who helped them come to terms with being a bipolar, queer, neurodiverse wannabe activist. SJ is a bisexual, bipolar, geeky queer activist, and each of these identities carries its own coming out story. Together, SJ and the audience create SJ's coming out experiences as an episode of Doctor Who, using heavily bejewelled props to create sound effects and shape the narrative. Audiences choose their own monster. The show runs for 60 minutes and tickets are £2.50.
