Festrogen Festival presents this screening of Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda.

Genderqueer comics from around the world take the stage at London's Alexandra Palace in this comedy showcase hosted by the award-winning Hannah Gadsby.

Enjoy this Netflix comedy special with friends, a hot cup of cocoa and marshmallows, and stick around to put your questions to Dahlia Belle, one of the comedians who features in it and will join us for a video call.

Q&A with Dahlia Belle

Hilarious, ignant, and the best sort of mess, Portland-based comedian and accidental activist, MX. DAHLIA BELLE, has been compared to a Swiss Army knife - different tools to extract sharpness, softness, vulnerability, hope, and wicked wit.

In addition to performing comedy, Belle has written for various publications, including Cosmopolitan and Portland Mercury. In 2021, she gained attention for publishing an open letter to comedian Dave Chappelle in The Guardian. She was among a number of comedians who criticized his Netflix special The Closer for including jokes they considered to be transphobic.

In March 2024, Belle appeared in the Netflix comedy special, Gender Agenda, also featuring fellow genderqueer comedians Jes Tom, Alok, Chloe Petts, DeAnne Smith, Krishna Istha, and Asha Ward.
