From Grindr To Blindr

Experience storytelling like never before — through the eyes of someone who's learning to live without sight

Go on an unforgettable date with Karan Nagrani, aka That Blind Guy — keynote speaker, content creator, disability advocate, and yes, a blind influencer (who knew that was a thing?). With his tagline "Pretty Fly for a Blind Guy", Karan takes you on a journey that’s hilarious, heartbreaking, and deeply human.

What’s it like coming out - not once, not twice, but three times as a blind, gay person of colour? It’s not a journey for the faint-hearted, but Karan walks it with courage, sass, and a wicked sense of humour. A born storyteller and natural comedian, Karan brings unfiltered honesty to everything he does — whether he’s speaking to packed events or cracking jokes on Instagram. His story of gradually losing his sight is raw and real: how would you cope knowing your world was slowly fading to black? But this isn’t just a story of loss - it’s one of transformation. Emerging from the shadows of vision loss and mental health struggles, Karan has become a passionate voice for inclusion and disability rights, shaking up stereotypes and challenging what it means to truly see people.

Named Community Ambassador for Midsumma Festival (2024, 2025 and 2026), ChillOut Festival Ambassador (2023), and Darwin Pride Ambassador (2024), Karan is on a mission to make the LGBTQIA+ community more accessible, inclusive, and kind.

So... ready for a date you won’t forget?

Laugh, cry, learn - and walk away seeing the world a little differently.

Tactile Tour

During the tour, attendees will receive a detailed verbal description of the set and environment, have the chance to explore selected props by touch, and be given a brief pre-show overview to support orientation and enjoyment of the performance.

If you would like to attend the tactile tour, please let us know in advance and arrive at the venue 30 minutes before the show start time.

The tactile tour will also include information on the location of accessible restrooms and the designated relief area for guide dogs.
