Big Milk: Comics and Comedy

Big Milk is a monthly celebration of artists and performers, a variety showcase of cartoonists reading their work live, comedians performing, and filmmakers sharing short films. Big Milk was started by Alexander Laird and Siah Files in February of 2020, as a monthly donation based community event to gather cartoonists and comedians and diversify what sort of performers each audience was seeing. After a pandemic hiatus, Big Milk returned in 2021 in the backyard of the City Reliquary, growing and continuing to pay artists and create community events, including Big Milk Xpo, aka BMX, a 30+ vendor zine fair in September 2021, and again in September of 2022.
