Welcome to Gay Club with Simon James Green!

GAY CLUB! is a landmark comedic novel by Simon James Green, about a group of queer teens at their worst – and ultimately their best – from one of the UK’s leading writers of LGBTQ+ teen fiction. 

Simon James Green will be talking about his inspiration for the book, which includes elements of LGBT history, and why we should all take inspiration from the characters of GAY CLUB! Featuring comedy anecdotes from his own hapless teenage years, this event contains a positive message and a rallying call to action for anyone who wants to make the world a more open, accepting, and kinder place.  

This is a hybrid event, and people can attend either in-person at the Hat Factory or join the online stream.

5.30-6.30pm in the Hat Factory Theatre. Ages 16+
