So on this murky, transport-challenged February day, you might cheer yourself a little as Manchester welcomes Queer Contact (until 18 Feb) with the traditional Ball, plus plenty of comedy and cabaret.
IRL:
This weekend - now Gary Clarke Company's Wasteland is sold out, you could look to the screening of Hedda (after Ibsen) with David Hoyle Liverpool tomorrow, Sat 4 Feb.
Next week (w/c 6 Feb) PUSH at HOME has #Black Boy Joy Gone:Realise on Tue 7 Feb; Amy Townsend-Lowcock's My Fruits and Liam Rees's The Enlightened (both 9-11 Feb).
Further afield, Rowena Gander's Barely Visible is at the Arts Centre, Edgehill University on Thu 9 Feb, while on Sat 11 Feb Eva Recacha's Because I Can is at Lancaster Arts and Joseph Toonga's Born to Exist is at the Riley Theatre, Leeds.
The following week (w/c 13 Feb) Queer Contact has An Audience with Milliy Liu and Grandmother's Close. Josh Coates is in Liverpool, Rowena Gander in Lancaster and Verve in Leeds.
