Queer Theatre's OutCast showcase puts 22 LGBTQIA+ actors on stage at the Two Brewers, Clapham High Street, on 25 November. Tickets cost £10 to £30.

Twenty-two LGBTQIA+ actors will take the stage at the Two Brewers on Clapham High Street on Wednesday 25 November. It is Queer Theatre’s last OutCast showcase of 2026.

The evening mixes new writing, rediscovered queer plays and LGBTQIA+ classics, according to the company’s event page. Its artistic director, the theatre director Andrew Keates, directs.

The cast comes from Queer Theatre’s acting classes for LGBTQIA+ people, its play reading club and its wider creative community.

The details

  • When: Wednesday 25 November. Doors open at 6.30pm and the show starts at 7pm.
  • Where: the back room of the Two Brewers, 114 Clapham High Street, SW4 7UJ.
  • Running time: about two hours, with an interval.
  • Tickets: £10 to £30. There is a pay-what-you-can ticket for people in financial hardship, general admission and a supporter’s ticket (tickts). The booking site charges no fees.
  • Age: 18 and over. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible.
  • Seats: 100. The company says earlier OutCast showcases have sold out.

The ticket also gets you into the Two Brewers’ late-night cabaret and DJ after the show. Queer Theatre says all profits go back into its work with LGBTQIA+ performers. Some scenes may contain language or themes that some people find upsetting, and the company says fuller content notes will follow once the programme is fixed.

A small number of free tickets are set aside for casting directors, agents and producers. Queer Theatre says the showcase has become a way for its actors to be seen by people who can hire them.
