What you’ll do

Come have a laugh as stand-up comedian Simon Watts and our RawMinds young people put on a one-time show, RawMinds Presents: No Questions Asked.

Simon will give a monologue and the group will respond with a fun and unpredictable take on his theme, which is inspired by our collections.
