✨Dressing room selfies of the tour so far✨

Four stops down, and only two left!! It’s hard to believe that Sluts With Consoles has already powered through over half of our tour dates already!!

But don’t despair because there’s still chances to catch us in Oxford, Cardiff & beyond in Autumn…

We are so grateful to have had such an amazing audience for our first ever hometown show and our Edinburgh previews!! 3 years almost to the day since the first ever R&D, Sluts With Consoles has been such a labour of love for the team and it was a delight to share the new, fully funded version of the show with our friends, family and our beloved Reading community.

Thank you especially to @southstreetarts, who have supported this project since Day 1. Last night's show was a real full circle moment for us, and we couldn't be more thankful to John, Zoe, Barnaby, Dan, Steph, Matthew + The Team for their support along the way!

With the first performance of the new script out of the way, this OFFICIALLY marks the beginning of the main leg of our tour! Next stop is EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL, quickly followed by CAMDEN FRINGE, and then Autumn tour dates in OXFORD, CARDIFF + more TBA!

We'll see you on the road 🚗💨

We’re going up to @edfringe.bsky.social this year and currently have nothing booked!

Which amazing shows, other than Sluts With Consoles by @dogmouththeatre.bsky.social should we make sure to check out?

Love a bit of new writing, performance art, and immersive or gig theatre too. Recommend away!

We’re super proud to be able to facilitate spaces that showcase female & Trans+ talent, and put Queer Joy centre stage ✨

However, Pride is more than a party; it’s a protest too - through our mutual aid fundraiser, the community came together to raise £125.00 for @genderedintelligence.co.uk 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Genuinely fuming that they don’t make these in my size, this would be the funniest thing to wear to a job interview (for a job that’s not a bus driver)

@notyetarobot.bsky.social is an actual rockstar. Saw them at South Street tonight and cannot recommend NO APOLOGIES enough for when it storms Edinburgh this August.

Beautifully written and performed, and very much needed right now amongst all of the shit that’s happening to Queer & Trans folk. 🏳️‍⚧️🌞

Saw @notyetarobot.bsky.social’s NO APOLOGIES at @southstreetarts.bsky.social this evening.

Incredible, inspiring and devastating performance filled with so much perfectly articulated rage and hope that I think a lot of people REALLY need right now.

Go and see her at Summerhall if you can!!! 🌞

Genuinely dystopian stuff. Heart goes out to @touretteshero.bsky.social whose work has had such a huge impact on the UK arts scene in the last few years.

Just another thing in the long list of decisions that the DWP should be ashamed of…

From #drag icons to grassroots groups and so much more, we're never shy of events and activities by and for our town's #LGBTQ community.

And seeing as it's #PrideMonth, we're building a list of the events celebrating queer talent #inrdg, from showcases to making sessions to bingo!
