Break:Out

Have you ever been on the edge, not sure whether you’ll fall or fly? break:out is a darkly funny and deeply personal queer comedy that dives into the space between breaking down and breaking free. It’s the story of a boy who once dreamed of being on stage, only to have those dreams crushed by a family who didn’t understand him. Pushed into football and conformity, he spent years hiding his true self, growing more withdrawn and shy. But after a near-tragic encounter on a bridge, his life took an unexpected turn.

With nothing but a chair and a ghostlight on stage, Tristan will take you through their journey—from the fear of failure to finding their voice, from stage fright to finally stepping back into the spotlight. He will explore themes of identity, survival, and the struggle for self-acceptance in a world that often tells you to be someone else.

This is more than just a comedy show. It’s about the power of breaking through, breaking down, and ultimately, breaking out. Whether you’re queer, questioning, or simply human, these stories from the brink will resonate, inspire, and—hopefully—make you laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Ticket types this year are Paid, Pay What You Can and Free - this is how it works: Paid: The show is fully ticketed and you pay in advance or on the door; Pay What You Can: You can choose to buy a ticket in advanced to guarantee entry and what to pay over a minimum amount OR turn up at the venue to get in for free in any space that is left; Free: The show is free entry and can be ticketed or unticketed. Watch the show, and the performer will ask for donations at the end for those that would like to contribute.
