San Francisco Circus Center welcomes BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community members for an evening of movement, connection, and play. Your donation helps us keep circus training accessible while honoring the creativity and leadership of underrepresented artists. This evening is offered as a sliding scale event so that finances are not a barrier to entry. Typically we charge $5 for entry and $10 for each trapeze swing. If you can donate more to cover someone else’s experience, we’d appreciate it. If you don’t have the financial means to donate, please register for a $0 ticket.
For BIPOC community who would like support funding their ticket, please email <a href="mailto:info@BIPOCacro.com" target="_blank">info@</a><a href="https://bacces.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BACCES.org</a> and BACCES (BIPOC Acro Collective Care Ecosystem) will cover your ticket.
Expect supportive coaches, low-pressure skill building, and space to explore aerial, acrobatics, and clowning at your own pace. Whether you’re trying circus for the first time or returning to practice, you belong in our ring.

Safe Words returns to SF Eagle for We're Queer, as in Funny, this month’s edition of Safe Words Comedy Showcase. Up from LA, Diana Hong headlines a lineup built for sharp storytelling, queer absurdity, trans joy, and the kind of bar-show electricity that makes a Wednesday at the Eagle worth planning around. Adam Strawbridge, Gold E. West, and Woodlief McCabe round out the bill, with Geulah Finman guest-hosting the night.
Safe Words exists to create safe spaces for queer audiences and accelerate the careers of queer comedians.Your investment of a VIP or Pay What You Can General Admission ticket increases performer pay, let's us bring in more of the community, and broaden our impact.
This show is built for people who want sharp stand-up in a bar where queer audiences are actually at the center. People who want to uplift queer voices (allies) are warmly welcome too - just be sure to bring cash for tips! 😜
Expect a show with range: dry intelligence, intimate storytelling, quick left turns, and comics with genuinely distinct points of view rather than a showcase interchangeable cis-het dudes making the same jokes about... us - usually.
