Get ready to dive into a wild blend of improvised and formalized art, headlined by our freestyle rapping brother from across the pond: BS!

Freestyle Thirst is a space rooted in spontaneous performance art, welcoming artists from all disciplines to come together and create improvised magic.

Expect the Unexpected: A Night of Freestyle and More!

This month’s showcase is ripping mostly into the raw, spontaneous energy of improvised music and poetry. Apart from some BS bangers in his hybrid set - nothing goes to script, and nobody is prepared - which is exactly how we like it.

The Lineup:

• Your Host: Ted Allpress – Keeping the energy high and the night flowing.

• Headline Act: BS – The freestyle rap heavyweight is hitting the stage with an exclusive, brand-new set.

• Main Support: Pascal Blaschta – Setting the mood with his signature atmospheric, sonic lyricism.

• The Mystery Wildcard: ??? – We left one slot open for the winner of our open submission competition. Who took the crown? You'll have to be in the room to find out.

Whether you're a hip-hop head, a spoken-word lover, or just looking for a genuinely unique night out, this is not one to miss.

How can I be the Mystery Support Act? Think you have what it takes to join the lineup? We are looking for one final artist to round out the night! To enter our open competition:

• The Task: Email a video of yourself improvising (with poetry, rap, singing, instruments, dance etc.) to Pascalblaschta@gmail.com.

• The Perk: All applicants receive a 50% discount on their entry ticket just for entering.

• The Grand Prize: The winner gets FREE entry and a 15-minute spotlight slot on the Freestyle Thirst stage!

• SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE: 13:00, Wednesday, 3rd June 2026!

Submissions are open now - show us your spontaneous magic.
