New side quests this October! ⏩

As flowers fade and leaves start to drop, a far more interesting world emerges, full of hidden botanical design, historical remedies, and survival strategies.

It’s a new kind of comedy night. A comedian explains new ideas about pop culture badly in front of offended experts. The topic? How disagreements can make us laugh instead of want to nuke the world... Then we’ll all “undebate” surprisingly funny questions based on those ideas. No winners, no losers. Just laughs.

How can you tell if a turtle has hatched in one of the nest protectors installed by the Turtle Protectors?

✅A hole opening
✅No shells on the outside

Shells scattered around likely means there was some predation.

Keep an eye out for these babies as we near the end of hatchling season!

So how did Anthony Morgan science the crap out of disagreeing better (and ultimately, making it funny)?

The game is simple: He asks a seemingly silly question. We pick a side. If you want, tell everyone why (or just listen to the hot takes 👀).

But here’s the twist: If someone from the other side surprises you or makes you laugh, you have to switch sides.

On October 8, play the game and join the conversation to uncover how we can unite in a world fueled by outrage and algorithms.

Comment PLAY for tickets.

Have you seen these in your local park?

Thanks to the incredible work of Turtle Protectors, which includes installing nest protectors, more turtles have a chance of thriving as our local friends and neighbours 😍

DId you know our hatchling season is from August to September?

Are you suffering from plant blindness? This is the cure! Most people only notice nature when it’s putting on a show. But beyond the bright colors of peak season lies a far more interesting world of hidden botanical design, historical remedies, and survival strategies.

Through the power of silly “Would you rather” questions, comedy and just connecting with other people, we’re exploring how do we navigate a world together that’s polarized and fueled by algorithm, ads and the powers that be. Come for a unique night out where just maybe, disagreeing can actually be fun.
