Relationship ghosts: how not to be haunted by your past

11:00 am, October 20 2026

Backyard Comedy Club, Bethnal Green

Speaker: Adela Apetroaia

Poet: Claudia Colella

Ahead of Halloween, Adela Apetroaia returns to help us understand how the impact of unresolved emotions in our relationships – and what we do to avoid getting spooked by them.

We’re also welcoming back Claudia Colella to put the poet into poltergeist.

At least, that’s the plan. If details change nearer the time, we’ll update this page.

Our singalongs

As usual, there will be four pop songs performed by our Sunday Assembly London band and connected to today’s theme. Get your guesses in now!

The lyrics will be projected on screen and everyone’s welcome to sing (and dance) along.
