2:30 PM - GAYLOR 101
let's crack open this can o' worms y'all - you'll never be the same

What used to live in the underbelly of niche subreddits is now getting mainstream attention at Cosmo and Rolling Stone - Taylor Swift has GOTTA be gay and luckily, one of RVA’s very own lesbian comedians is ready to clue you in.

From her constant nods to queer culture to controversial video footage of her maybe-or-maybe-not kissing her former bestie Karlie Kloss, she’s given us all the pieces and on October 28, Hannah Land is going to assemble the puzzle for you live.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you might even learn something!

Featuring...

  • a TED Talk, but if TED Talks were fun and about gay pop stars

  • friendship bracelet making

  • Gaylor bingo, with prizes of course

  • 1989 (Taylor's Version) on repeat

  • RVA's best craft brewskis from Ardent Craft Ales!!!

Seating is first come, first served with a maximum capacity of 75 people - be sure to reserve your spot sooner rather than later!

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales and bar sales will be donated to Richmond nonprofit Side by Side to support Virginia's LGBTQ+ youth!

📍 Ardent Barrel Room: 3117 W. Moore St. in Scott's Addition (right around the corner from the Ardent taproom)
