Still Not Your Pity Party - in association with Foyle Pride
Date: 2 October 2025
Venue: Playhouse, Artillery Street, Derry, Londonderry, BT48 6RG
An eclectic collaboration with queer, d/Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent spoken word artists from the North West.
Following on from Bounce 2024, Foyle Pride is back with 'Still Not Your Pity Party!' This encore continues its unapologetic, eclectic collaboration with queer, d/Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent spoken word artists from the North West.
Fighting to reframe the labels of 'inspiring' or 'brave'. Exhausted by sad looks relating to the disability. Tired of dealing with an ableist society's pity. Enraged, they came together to celebrate their unapologetic eclectic brilliance under the watchful guidance of their MQ (Mummy Queer) Mel Bradley. The lineup includes Isaac Quinn, Devin Kane, Alex Cregan, Blathín Gillen - among others!
