As well as these top headliner acts, QPAC is offering “Outside” as a separate venue during the In Stitches Festival:

Throughout the In Stitches season, QPAC’s Cascade Court transforms into an after hours comedy hub. Come before an in-theatre show or stay afterwards for a mix of stand up performance, improv, live music performance and random acts seldom seen because they are kind of weird.

In Stitches Outside promises to deliver belly laughs or at least a wry smirk. Failing that, purchase a reusable beer mug and brave the open mic.

Entry to all In Stitches Outside performances is free.

The acts include local favourites, a few tourers, radio stars and up-and-comers from the Stand-Up Comedy Club’s open mics. So far the Outside schedule is:
