Stand Up Tragedy @Hackney Attic 17th May

Come down to Stand Up Tragedy at Hackney Attic- Friday the 17th of May, 7:30. It’s fun. I promise. https://www.facebook.com/events/635498473143002/?ref=ts&fref=ts Stand Up Tragedy is a night where people stand up and tell tragedy. We make you sad; we make you think; we make you smile. Expect music, comedy, fiction, spoken word, true stories and more, all playing up to the tragic form but not always taking it seriously. The night ends, not with a whimper, not with a bang, but with a cathartic sing-a-long.The next Stand Up Tragedy of 2013 is happening at the Hackney Attic on 17th May.
