Kickstand is a fully inclusive non-discriminatory space. We are not tolerant of racism, sexism, homophobia, and hate. You, your performers, and your audience are responsible for the words they choose both on and off stage. We don’t believe in “off-limits” topics but we do believe in good comedy. Kickstand believes good comedy doesn’t use the victim as the punchline, if you can’t take criticism about something you say maybe you don’t need to say it. Acts or threats of physical violence will lead to permanent removal from Kickstand and Velo Cult. Respect the physical space, don’t touch stuff that isn’t yours we’re very lucky to have Velo Cult’s support, don’t be the person that ruins it for everyone! Kickstand reserves the right to rescind use of the space to anyone for violating this policy
