Audience feedback
"Sexquisite is my favourite night out in London!"
"I had not expected the show to be so wonderful. The entire lineup consisted of incredible performers that were witty, funny and most of all: powerful. Bravo!"
"Sexquisite put on the best show I've ever seen in my life. If you weren't there you missed out."
"Sexquisite was fantastic! Professional, engaging and educational. A very good mix of entertainment and information (and enlightened, accurate info is much needed about sex work - and this, by sex workers themselves, is exactly that)."
MORE ABOUT QUEERKY:
Queerky is a queer exploration of rave music, but most of all it’s an LGBTQ+ gathering.
And after a break, we are back!!
We are also very excited to welcome a new guest artist:
HARLIIHARLEYHARLEE
Ghanaian-born Londoner Harliiharleyharlee is all about speed. Fast beats, thumping bass and bright bubbly synths get ha going and you will too. Again, we shaking ass and tiddays.
As always the night will be supported by our lovely all-FEM residents:
JASEEKA DEL
MAXOU
SPACE MISTRESS
A reminder to everyone that this is a queer safer space. Allies that respect the ethics of the party are welcome.
We will carry out a vibe check at entry. You can expect a friendly chat about our safety policy (see our Instagram) with lovely members of our Queerky team, supported by PHAT members. Our main aim in this process is to build a community of queers and allies committed to fostering safer spaces. A lack of commitment to this shared goal is the sole criteria on the basis of which you may be denied the right to entry. In these instances, tickets will be refunded directly via Headfirst.
Queerky does not have a dress code, but you are invited to embrace your sexy self if so you feel on the night ;)
If you feel you can't afford a ticket to the QUEERKY RAVE PARTY but would still like to come, don't hesitate to email us at [email protected]. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
MORE ABOUT THE POP-UP QUEER STRIP CLUB & BRISTOL SEX WORKERS' COLLECTIVE:
Bristol Sex Worker' Collective is an organisation set up for sex workers by sex workers as an organisation that is committed to the health and safety and rights of sex workers in their local area. Their goal is to build a grassroots community which is for the end of violence and stigma towards sex workers.
They do not represent anyone who profits from the labour of sex workers.
The pop-up Queer Strip Club it's an idea that has been boiling for some time. It has been struggling to reach reality due to both the fierce battle of the Council against sexual entertainment venues, and the lack of queer spaces of this kind.
Patriarchy keeps imposing beauty standards over body types and gender identity restrictions for those who wish to work in the stip industry.
Collectively we are striving to liberate sex work from the stigma it carries and to propose a gender-non-conforming vision of a 'socialist-run' strip club!
MORE ABOUT LOCO KLUB:
