Moon Press Issue 12 Launch & Comedy Night

Tour de Moon invites you to the launch of Moon Press 12, commissioned by UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK.

Join us at The Common Press at Glass House London for an evening of comedy, connection and queer literature. Free entry, free zines and a free drink for all attendees. Enjoy performances by the best of London's stand-up scene and peruse a wealth of queer literature in the newly renovated bookshop.

Line-up TBA, showcasing the best of London's live comedy.

On the new issue: Moon Press Issue 12 explores the connection between humour and the moon - specifically, how humour may be used as a tool for disruption, provocation and agitation. Starting from the etymological roots of “lunacy” & the moon’s intrinsic silliness, the issue looks at the role of humour in times of political and economic crisis. From shitposting as soft branding to the mechanics of virality, online humour and IRL comedy are examined as potent means for communication and political solidarity.
