Internationally acclaimed dance artist Sadiq Ali is retelling his personal experience of being HIV positive through circus and movement. Ali’s Tell Me is a physical embodiment and celebration of resistance and the need to confront the stigma of HIV. Using activism as a queer man alongside his technical agility to direct and perform in Tell Me, Ali’s performance is an explicit force for social change, while challenging audience expectations. Produced by Turtle Key Arts and fusing circus, theatre and dance, Tell Me will tour the UK from 16^th January – 10^th February 2026. It follows the international success of The Chosen Haram and major world-wide festivals including Sydney Festival, Auckland Arts Festival and Gay Pride Europe, Malta.

And Vicky Lane returns. You may remember we spoke to her a few weeks ago about a new stand up night she was hosting. Well, she's not been in Bristol for more than a few months and now she joins us, live, to talk about Queer Stories - a new evening where you can go and, well, tell a story.
