About this Event

SHARK BITE

The Queer Poolplayers Association (QPA) presents SHARK BITE, a live, comedy, game show in which poolplayers and comedians from the LGBTQIA+ community vie to win an eight-ball match that encourages its audience and players to roast, distract, and otherwise “shark”the competition.

In real life you can get in a lot of trouble for sharking. But this is a comedy show, so players will not only be allowed to show their teeth, they'll be encouraged to do so by the host, the mononymous Lydia--a bicycle mechanic, organizer, and artist, who was first introduced to a billiards table at age thirteen. Lydia played on a Brooklyn based American Poolplayers Association team from 2014 to 2019; and since November 2023, Lydia has been hosting a popular, monthly pool tournament at Ginger’s Bar.

SHARK BITE will be held at Fort Hamilton Distillery. This award-winning distillery and bar has an impressive drink menu and is home to one of the most stylish pool rooms in New York City.

  • Doors open: 7:30pm.
  • Show starts: 8:00pm.
  • Admission: $20.
  • Ages 21 and over (21+)

The Queer Poolplayers Association (QPA) is a collaborative project now producing exhibitions and other events in the disciplines of eight-ball and nine-ball for LGBTQIA+ communities. Follow the QPA on Instagram.
