Ladyfest

Michelle Tea

The feminist festival returns to the capital

After the success of last year’s month-long lady-focused extravaganza, Edinburgh’s own feminist festival has gone for a more boutique look this year in the lead up to the Gude Cause event (look out for our feature next issue).

Still, they’re packing a whole lot of power into a weekend: a comedy night with the very ladylike Sian Bevan on Thursday, workshops and a gig featuring some splendid and exciting local female artists on Saturday, a secret and reputedly awesome movie night at Brass Monkey on Sunday, and, most excitingly, a very rare chance to catch the brilliant San Franciscan performance art and poetry collective Sister Spit, headed up by Michelle Tea, on Friday night.

Check out www.ladyfestedinburgh.com for full listings info. Various venues, Edinburgh, Thu 24–Sun 27 Sep
