My Gay Best Friend (and other unspoken letters) 2025

My Gay Best Friend returns for its third edition!It feels now more than ever, with the world so divided, we need an event to uplift and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ voices in a safe environment, whist also bringing awareness towards the daily struggles and battles members of the community face on a day-to-day basis.What one thing that you’ve wanted to say to your straight mates but never had the chance to?How much of our struggles and joys do straight people really know about the LGBTQIA+ community?‘My Gay Best Friend’ is an annual anthology series in which we commission LGBTQIA+ identifying writers to express their personal and political opinions of something that are often left unspoken. Sometimes comical, sometimes emotional, sometimes political, but always honest and personal to the writer. These monologues/letters/speeches will be written and sealed, before being opened and read by an actor live for the first time on the night in front of the audience.Given the ruling of the Supreme Court earlier this year, this edition of MGBF, will see 5 new pieces of work written by transgender and/or non-binary writers.
