Story

2020 gave Gemma and I lots of opportunity to reflect on our time as Directors and creators of Club Geek Chic, Little Atom Productions and The In Conversation series.  In what would have been a year filled with 10 year anniversary celebrations, Gemma and I have decided to end 2020 on a positive note with a night of online music and laughter.

We’re harking back to the days when our Club Geek Chic cabaret nights gathered together the finest in the Liverpool arts scene for themed evenings of fabulousness!

2020 has been challenging for everyone, and it made us think a lot about some of the wonderful friends of Little Atom / Club Geek Chic that we’ve lost over the past couple of years, the wonderful Chris Crookall, Pete Fitzmaurice, Felicity Wren and Liz Lacey.

As such, our evening Club Geek Chic does 2020 will be a fundraiser with all proceeds going to charities suggested by the friends and family of Chris, Pete, Felicity and Liz.

The event will take place on a live Zoom on Friday 11th December at 8pm via Zoom and will be a special evening of reflection, hope and of course fun.

Chris was an huge fan of the cinema and Medicinema was chosen by his wife Carrie as our nominated charity.
