Intersex Awareness Day: Screening + Discussion

Saturday, October 24th, 2026

1:00 PM

A powerful documentary screening and community conversation centered on intersex experiences. "Every Body" follows three intersex individuals reclaiming their stories after childhoods marked by shame and non-consensual medical intervention. After the film, intersex activist and medical sociologist Esther Leidolf—founder of the Jamaica Plain MRKH Organization—leads a discussion drawing on themes from the documentary and insights from their book, "Not Uncommon, Just Unheard Of." This is a chance to listen, learn, and show up for the intersex community.

Sew Gay Club (October)

Wednesday, October 28th, 2026

TQNC's monthly sewing skillshare brings together people of all experience levels — from never-touched-a-machine to seasoned sewers — in a space that centers LGBTQIA+ voices. Bring a project (that top you've been meaning to crop, pants to hem, or an elaborate Halloween costume) or come with nothing but excitement to learn. Experienced sewing guides will be there to teach and answer questions, and TQNC provides basic machines and supplies, though you may share a machine and a sewing buddy. All skill levels, all identities, all welcome.

Club Café

Thursday nights in the Napoleon Room at Club Café belong to Andy Lantz and classically trained vocalist Frankie Campofelice, who deliver a smooth blend of jazz standards, Broadway hits, and pop favorites.

Hockey night done right — settle in with a mouthwatering meal (think BBQ chicken pizza and the Chandler Street burger) while the Bruins take on the Mammoth. Faceoff at 7:30 PM in a space that's genuinely warm and welcoming, whether you're a die-hard fan or just here for the good food and company.

Karaoke

Karaoke Night

Thursday, October 8th, 2026

10:00 PM

Dani’s Queer Bar

Grab the mic every Thursday night at Dani's Queer Bar for No Cover Karaoke — no cover charge, no judgment, just you and a room full of people ready to cheer you on. From 10pm to 2am, belt out your favorite anthem, discover a new go-to song, or just soak in the energy of a crowd that genuinely loves karaoke night. Hosted by Miss Jade Rock, it's a weekly ritual that's become the neighborhood's most reliably fun excuse to sing your heart out, solo or with your crew.

Comedy

Niki Luparelli

Friday, October 9th, 2026

7:00 PM

Club Café

Niki's got a classically trained voice she uses to caress, then pivots to bawdy patter and absurdist comedy that lands like a sucker punch. She's played the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Boston Comedy Festival, and once told Piers Morgan he was watching the most annoying woman he'd ever met — and she meant it as a compliment. Jim Rice on piano. No cover, open mic all night in the Napoleon Room.
