Uncensored stories by real people, paired with live music. A first-of-its-kind night that exists to catalyse genuine human connection.

Described as “one of the best nights out in London”, RAW is not your typical night out – and is a status quo-shifting event format that is the first of its kind. Conceived by a woman with a penchant for collecting stories and speaking to strangers, RAW is produced by a female-led group of badass, good-hearts and tribe of tribes called What Does Not.

It combines vibes for miles in the coolest venues, the serendipitous connection with incredible humans from all backgrounds, thought-provoking art and great music. All of this is bound together by the highs, lows and diversity of true stories by everyday people – through the lens of a theme. To top it off, the RAW has a noble vision underpinning its sass: to move the dial on the status quo of division and disconnection.

The theme for April 9th is MISFITS

Join us at Looking Glass Cocktail Club as we hear from those who are unapologetically themselves, who don’t conform to the norm, and who exist at the intersections of social groups or cultures. Far from being a source of shame or stigma, a misfit’s journey of embracing their uniqueness can highlight societal flaws, and bring about social change through their alternative lens on life – and what it means to be human. Join us as we explore stories of non-conformity and breaking the mould.
