Amy Spalding: The Dykonic tour

Amy Spalding: The Dykonic tour

Brighton Dome Concert Hall Church St, Brighton

Amy Spalding: The Dykonic tour | Calling all dykes, divas and non-binary baddies! Are you familiar with: Navigating the lesbian web like a pro? How to tell if she’s flirting or just giving you a compliment? Why a £950 pair of Diesel boots alone does not make you a ‘diesel dyke’? (Something Amy learned the hard way.) If not don’t worry, as luckily breakout star of BBC’s I Kissed a Girl – and everyone’s favourite lesbian big sister – Amy Spalding is on hand to answer all these queer conundrums and more, to help you to live, laugh and love all things lesbian. Join Amy at these special events as she covers everything you need to live your best sapphic life; such as finding community, dating, and navigating breakups; as well as running through queer terminology, how to look the part and key cultural touchstones. Hosted by Sophie Duker and with special guest Hannah Botterman, the show will feature stories from Amy’s own gloriously messy journey, heartfelt advice from sapphic elders, as well as the chance to ask Amy your questions. This show is for anyone at any stage of their queerness, whether you’re newly questioning, proudly out - or […]
