Dr Mew's Sci-Fi Cabaret is an LGBT+ line-up cabaret show for sci-fi lovers, hosted by SJ and Dr Mew — a cat who used to be an anti-woke podcaster. Presented by SJ Wyatt and the Free Festival, the line-up varies but will include comedy, music, drag and other intergalactic performances, all with a sci-fi twist. Audiences can also test their sci-fi knowledge and be awarded the Jonesy Sci-Fi Cat of the show. Free entry, running for 60 minutes at The Loft venue, suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A free, warm and wonderfully specific cabaret — the sci-fi framing gives it a real sense of community and mischief. Great for queer audiences and genre fans alike, especially if you like your camp with a side of Jonesy the cat references.
