Friday night comedy at the Grey Horse

Welcome to the home of Kingston's original and longest running comedy night. 

A night of irresistible improv comedy from some of London's finest players. Kickstart the weekend with a razor-sharp, spontaneous, brand new and never-to-be-seen-again show that will leave you saying, like after ALL the best nights out, "you really had to be there…"

You'll be asked for suggestions which will be turned into unforgettable scenes, characters, and songs, all made up right there on the spot. Had a particularly eventful night out recently? They might just ask you about it…

1960s film night at the Kingston Quaker Centre

Join the Kingston Quaker Centre on Saturday evening for an evening of films exploring LGBTQ+ identity from the 1960s. 

They will be screening:

Boys Beware

This anti-homosexual social scare short film focuses on the "dangers" of young boys talking to strangers. (USA, 1962, 10 mins)

"Man Alive" Consenting Adults: 1. The Men

Homosexual men face fear and disgust resulting from the "choice" to love other men. Now, a private members bill has been brought before parliament to legalize the practice thus easing such consequences. Men affected open up with their personal stories. (UK, 1967, 30 mins)

"Man Alive" Consenting Adults: 2. The Women

Angela Huth speaks to lesbians from various different walks of life: from the content couple to the young androgynous girl who wants to be accepted; and the married wife who conceals it from her husband. (UK, 1967, 30 mins)

Victim

A closeted lawyer risks his career to bring a blackmailer to justice. (UK, 1961, 100 mins)

When you arrive at the Quaker Centre, press the buzzer for the Hall and we will let you in.

Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available free of charge.
