Exes and O’s Live With Shannon Beveridge – Hard Launch Tour

On March 17, Shannon Beveridge brought her Exes and O’s Hard Launch Tour to the Vancouver Playhouse.

Understanding the importance of diverse representation in entertainment, Shannon is dedicated to amplifying LGBTQIA+ voices through her storytelling. She hosts Exes And O’s, a weekly video podcast where she dives into queer relationships and sex, joined by a rotating lineup of influential queer guests. For this Vancouver edition, she invited E.R. Fightmaster and Breanne Williamson.

Shortly after Shannon‘s VIP Meet & Greet session, we caught up with her and her guests backstage for a few photos. Then it was time for the live show! And it was exactly what you’d expect from Exes And O’s—a perfect blend of comedy, candid conversations, and a whole lot of queer joy.

The night kicked off with Shannon checking in on the crowd, making sure the usually reserved Vancouver audience was warmed up and ready for a night of laughs. She then welcomed actor and musician E.R. Fightmaster to the stage for a lively Q&A.

Things got even more entertaining with the Hard Launch game, hosted by Breanne Williamson. Breanne, a filmmaker, content creator, and advocate for LGBTQIA+ representation, and Shannon kept the energy high as a blindfolded E.R. had to pick an audience member based solely on their answers to four revealing questions. Next up was a round of Would You Rather?, which brought some hilariously tough dilemmas that had both the guests and audience in stitches.

The night wrapped up with an In Memoriam segment, featuring a comically dramatic tribute to iconic queer pop culture moments—think Tumblr, Clexa, and Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson. It was the perfect way to close out a show that balanced humour with heartfelt moments, all while celebrating queer experiences.

As one fan perfectly summed up on the Apple Podcast page, “Whether you are a baby gay, a senior gay, or an ally, this is the podcast you should be listening to.” And if you get the chance to see it live? Even better.

Exes And O’s Hard Launch Tour will be in San Francisco tonight and in Los Angeles on March 22. Head to Shannon’s website for all the ticket info!

We’d like to thank Shannon & her team for welcoming us to the show, as well as Modo Live and Lips Events for having us.
