The First Big
Non-Event

On April 1st 2022, a (Non) Event was held to look at some of the possible intersections between Comedy and Performance Art. The mash-up format again used the comedy ‘rule of three’ (McKeague, 2021), consisting of a pop-up café; a gallery with a live guided tour and a performance (non) event that paid homage to Dada Cabaret. Each component of the big Non-Event aimed to provoke thinking about, and experience of, Comedy might meet Performance art and vice versa. The 2022 event was the first public event in the series of Happenings, staged comic art reconstructions, Dada-ist cabaret, research-based ‘nonferences’ and other live events that are encompassed in the aims of the ongoing UoS Comedy and Performance Art Project.
