Trans Joy & Comedy: Finding Laughter in Tough Times w/ Krystal Moore

Laughter is resistance, and comedy is survival! 🎭✨ In this episode of TransJoy Boise, hosts Bonnie Violet (trans femme, genderqueer, spiritual drag artist & digital chaplain) and Pacey (trans masc, non-binary mental health & recovery advocate) welcome stand-up comedian and comedy producer Krystal Moore! 🎤

Together, they dive into the power of humor in navigating trans joy, mental health, and activism—especially in challenging times. How can comedy break down barriers, foster resilience, and even reach those who might not listen otherwise? 🤔 Plus, we talk dark humor, the vulnerability of laughter, and why comedy is the ultimate way to shake off the heaviness of the world.

+ Queer Comedy Writing Workshop & Showcase

Join us for an exciting opportunity to explore the power of comedy as a tool for healing, connection, and advocacy. Whether you want to perform on stage or simply learn more about comedic storytelling, this workshop welcomes all skill levels.

• Workshop Focus: Learn how to craft jokes, shape your personal experiences into comedic storytelling, and find the balance between humor and vulnerability.
• Showcase Option: Participants can choose to perform in a live comedy showcase or attend just to learn and grow.
• Why Comedy? Humor has the power to build bridges, challenge perspectives, and create spaces for connection. Through laughter, we can process our experiences, shift narratives, and foster greater understanding—especially for trans, non-binary, and queer voices.
• A Space for Community: This workshop is about more than just comedy—it's about supporting one another, processing our shared and unique experiences, and amplifying trans and queer joy.

You don’t have to be a performer to participate—just come with an open mind and a willingness to explore storytelling in a new way. Whether you take the mic or not, your presence matters.
