Oct 26 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

7:30pm til LATE

We’re back from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the one year anniversary of Stitchin’ Fiction – The only new writing night where everything is decided on the night!

It’s on.

What happens when you take a handful of writers, add a dollop actors, whisk in a sprinkle of direction; and give them an hour to rehearse before doors open to the public?

Stitchin’ Fiction – The original new writing night where casting, directing, and performing takes place in the course of a single evening!

SF is a collaboration to provide creative minds a platform to workshop, and share ideas over new writing in a relaxed environment.

Roll a D6

6:30 onwards – Free Entry

How better to meet random people in a pub then with a session of Bullshit Scrabble (make up the words, and justify them to your new friends) or over a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity (“a game for truly horrible people”)? Or maybe you fancy trying out the best game to ever emerge from Germany? That’s right, the ridiculous Camel Up.

And if that doesn’t get you going, we also have other lesser-known gems like Rapidough (dictionary with play dough), Story Dice (an imagination stimulator like no other) or the sublime Love Letter (think Tinder without smartphones or shallow hook-ups). For the traditionalists amongst you we also have a number of Argos-based stalwarts including Chess, Draughts, Backgammon, Risk, Monopoly, Game Of Life, Operation, Hungry Hippos, Guess Who, and many more.

Organised by local nutjob David Harrison – him and his merry men have been running a regression session in the Dungeons & Dragons Speakeasy out back for the last couple of months. If you want in on that as well drop him a line on David@kililive.com.
