Fringe didn’t work out this year?

Your show doesn’t have to stay on the shelf.

If you’re still looking to present work during the festival month, The Motley has space available and we’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Whether it’s a fully developed show, a work-in-progress, or something that doesn’t quite fit the traditional mould, get in touch and let’s chat.

Motley Matches
Q***r Speed Dating at The Motley

A night of fast flirting, new connections, and community at The Motley.

Each edition of Motley Matches will centre different identities and relationship dynamics within the q***r community — including nights for le****ns, gay men, bi/pan singles, trans & non-binary people, and broader mixed q***r events.

We do this to help create more intentional spaces where people can meet others they’re genuinely excited to connect with. Please check each event’s details before booking, as every night will have a different focus and format.

Come for the chemistry, stay for the cocktails.
