Our much-loved specialty nights return in 2020 with Queer Night proudly celebrating everything queer on Friday 23 October (curated by Bianca Montagner & Paris Balla) and Comedy Night – sure to get you giggling on Thursday 29 October (curated by Elly D’Arcy – Zesty Bangers) and Max Paton (Kevin Peterson’s Stand-Up Show!).

This year MUST are also introducing a New Music Night on Thursday 22 October. Curated by Logan Trask, it will celebrate original music from fantastic emerging artists in the wider MUST community, an “impressive breeding ground for talent in recent years.” (The Music)
