Special Guest

“60 SECONDS, ONE MIC, THE AUDIENCE ARE THE SPEAKERS !!! I HAD SO MUCH FUN LAST NIGHT I NEARLYYYY CRIEDDDDD !!!” – @lemelp

“Wow wow wow. Last night was so so magical. @SpecialGuestLDN has literally changed my view on community and our generation. If you stop to listen to people you can be so inspired.” – @afrocreative

“Such a simple idea but inspiring: emotional, hilarious, motivational & genuinely hopeful.” – @RachSkyer

Huh?

Special Guest is the open mic night where anything goes. Anyone can take the stage to share anything for 60 seconds. Expect creative talks, shower thoughts, true stories, hidden talents, deep and meaningfuls, and much more.

We’re stoked to be collabing with sisterwoman vegan for this one; the brilliant plant-based peckham-based social enterprise. Expect the same ol’ Special Guest we know and love, with an extra helping of good vibes, and maybe even some delicious vegan food.

 How it works:

• Listen, clap, cheer. Support your fellow special guests. 
• Sit back, listen, and enjoy the ride. 
• If you want to, you can take the mic to share anything for 60 seconds. It's optional.

Previously, members of the audience have taken the mic to… share their grandma’s wisdom, say what they wish they’d said to their ex, dance, share their red pill moment, apologise to their vagina, rewrite the dictionary definition of "An Essex girl", pun on command, ask for a hug, reveal a tattoo of Phil Mitchell, share their life motto, observe a minute of silence, form a human pyramid, serenade the audience, thank their mum, invite the audience to kiss them, read an ode to plantain, and much more.
