The Sloth Presents Pride & Prejudice Live at The Parkside Lounge
July 25 2025
Doors at 6pm / Show at 7pm
Tickets $12
Doors open at 6:00 and stories begin around 7:00pm. Sharers and listeners are all welcome! No story is required to come and enjoy the scene. To sustain our work, there is a $12 entry fee, but we will turn no one away for a lack of funds.
On the fence about telling a story? We're here to help you develop it for primetime! Reach out to one of our gracious and beautiful hosts to brainstorm and refine. We'd love to get a glimpse of your inner worlds.
Hosted by Tiernan Bertrand-Essington & Rian Bodner
What’s the story theme?
What does it mean to embrace your queerness in a world that so often judges you for it? How have you navigated the tension between your pride and the prejudice you overcome? Whether it’s a story of defying expectations, challenging stereotypes, or reclaiming power, we want to hear how you’ve shaped your queer path. Come share your truth, laugh at the absurdities, and explore the compleity of love, identity, and belonging in a world that is always trying to label you.
What are SLOTH events?
The SLOTH is our queer gathering for friends to share stories inspired by our selected themes. Come to listen or come to tell. We welcome authentic and true(ish) tales, comedy, poetry, music, and any creative form you can put into a compelling 5-minute share. Follow us @sloth.nyc
