Join us at Micklegate Social for Vera Drew’s trans cult hit The People’s Joker! Book ahead to ensure your place!
About this Event

The People's Joker is a raw exploration of trans identity in a DIY parody twist on a classic coming-of-age story. This movie garnered an instant cult following for its inventive budget DIY filmmaking, sharp wit, and emotive storytelling; a truly impressive collaborative effort of indie trans artists.

This is our first (of hopefully many) trans movie nights at Micklegate Social in York. Friends, family, well-wishers and Blåhajs all welcome. Doors open 17:30, and the film runs from 18:30-20:05. This will be fully SDH subtitled. There will be an optional couple of hours to relax and chat afterwards, and there may also be a short movie from another trans director to follow. Please book tickets in advance as we only have a capacity of about 30.
Micklegate Social is a 5 minute walk from York Station and nearby bus stops (including Blossom Street), situated just inside the bar walls. We'll be holding the event in their Den, the venue's basement area. There are plenty of comfortable seats and unisex toilets in both the Den and the main bar area. A variety of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks are available at the bar.
Jamie will be your host for the night, it's their first time so please be kind. Tickets are free, but if you fancy donating something towards room hire or buying them a drink, it'd be more than welcome.
