🏳️🌈Queer Unplugged x Volkshotel - Pride Edition
Wow, wow, wow - this is a special PRIDE edition with 3 awesome queer stand-up sets during the social part of the event! What is better than connecting over belly laughs?
Queer Unplugged is a movement toward mindful tech use, deeper community, and radical self-care. Our phone-free gatherings blend workshops, art, comedy, music, and community to nurture real-life connections, celebrate queerness, and support mindful self-care beyond the scroll.

QUEER TALENTS:
QUEER AS FUCK - Stand-up comedy
Adi Parmar was born in India in the 90s but was reborn after Lana Del Rey released the Ride music video in 2012. He has a crush on Emmanuel Macron, but he doesn’t always agree with his politics. He may have ADHD, but there’s a lot going on in his life right now, so we can’t get into all that.
Bronwyn Isaac is a stand-up comedian and writer who still doesn't understand how to unlock her frequent flyer miles. When she's not silently crying on a plane while watching the worst movie she's seen in her life, she's haunting stages across the world.
Anna Mac is an Irish “lady comic”, but don’t hold that against her. Through her unique comedy stylings, she invites audiences to laugh, learn and maybe even avoid a few of her well-intentioned f**k ups along the way.
18:30 - 19:00
