Charlie Perkins and Min Heo
At the beginning of the year, we welcomed a new Nicer Tuesdays format, inviting two top creatives to address a theme each month via our custom built online events platform. Last month, our speakers discussed the topical theme of ‘creative responses to crisis’. But this month, we’ve decided to go in a cheerier direction, exploring the importance of humour in the creative industry. Taking place on Tuesday 23 February at 6 pm GMT, we invite you to sit back, relax and have a laugh with the Bay Area-based illustrator Min Heo and head of comedy at Blink Industries, Charlie Perkins.
You can pay what you can with our tiered ticketing system and grab yourself a ticket just below. Also, by making an account on our online event platform, you can browse all our It’s Nice That events. If you need more encouragement to attend this month’s event, find out more about February’s Nicer Tuesdays below.
