  • Summary

  • I held hands at a concert with a blind man named Andrew. What happened next was hilarious.


    Should I feel bad about that clickbait headline? Probably, but I stand by it.


    I’d gone to the Ocean Alley concert on my own, at the wonderful Forum Theatre in Melbourne. I love going to gigs with friends or my brothers, but the solo outing does leave room for serendipitous encounters.


    And so it was.


    I’m so glad I got to experience the show with Andrew, a warm and friendly man with the courage to ask for what he wants. In this Fink Tank Col and I laugh about the cultural norms that were comedically broken that night.


    Unspoken in this conversation are the gendered safety issues around this topic. Patriarchy and misogyny have a lot to answer for here.


    I asked Andrew for consent for the photos, and to share the story.


    And I won’t forget that night anytime soon!
