Free things to do in Manchester this week ft. Not Bad For a Girl + more

FLIM Nite’s DUNO at 3MT
Film-themed spoken word night FLIM returns to 3MT for a very special event this Monday evening. The usual brief for FLIM is that a group of writers, performers and comedians recreate a beloved film scene-by-scene, providing their own spin on the material. This instalment is a little different, as they’re doing a mash-up of two different films instead: In this case David Lynch’s weird sci-fi epic Dune and 2007 teen pregnancy comedy Juno. This is a pay-as-you-feel event, so you’re encouraged to donate generously.
Mon 3 Jun, 3MT, Afflecks Arcade, 35-39 Oldham Street, Manchester, M1 1JG, 7.30pm – 10pm, www.facebook.com
