🌈 New Forest Pride 2026! 🌈

Expect an inspiring programme of comedy, music, spoken word, theatre, drag and cabaret, alongside workshops, participatory sessions and stalls from amazing local organisations and sellers. This year’s programme is proudly community‑curated, shaped with local LGBTQIA+ residents and with special involvement from Breakout Youth groups in New Milton and Matchwood.

Opening this event will be  internationally acclaimed comedian Sam Nicoresti, bringing her award‑winning show Baby Doomer to New Milton. Winner of Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025, Baby Doomer is a sharp, joyful and searching hour of stand‑up about love, identity, instability and the pursuit of the perfect skirt suit. Following a standout run at the Edinburgh Fringe and sold‑out performances at London’s Soho Theatre, this expanded version marks the show’s first visit to the New Forest.

Spanning stories of getting stuck in a dress in TK Maxx, finding love among Cornish standing stones, and navigating sperm banks, fantasy figurines and queer cat names, Sam’s work is deeply personal, warm and sharply funny.

Baby Doomer follows Sam’s acclaimed previous show Wokeflake, described by Chortle as “One of the definitive documents of the trans experience in stand‑up.”
