About this Event
THE TBOYSKR1PCLUB PRESENTS - ARCH MADNESS: A POP UP STRIP CLUB & MUTUAL AID BENEFIT
Join us for a one-of-a-kind, pop-up Queer Strip Club experience, where we’re bringing the Strip Club directly to you! This intimate, covid-safer, and inclusive event is designed to celebrate and support our community while offering an unforgettable night of performances, connection, and fun.
This event serves as a mutual aid/fundraiser/rent party, helping support the performers in the show who are in need. Most of the incredible performers and staff are volunteering their time, making this a truly community-centered celebration.
Expect a mini strip club experience, but with a twist! You'll be treated to sultry stage sets, and after the first round of performances, some dancers will be offering private lap dances with a continuation of stage sets throughout the event.
To ensure everyone has a great time, please arrive at doors (9:00PM) to catch our host's rundown on strip club etiquette—this will help us all enjoy the night in a respectful and safe way. Larger bills can be converted to smaller bills at the show, but bring some cash ahead of time! Digital tip offers will be available as well. (Since performers are volunteering their labor, we strongly encourage you to tip a minimum of $2/performer so that they can all get paid - it’s only $10 total!)
Event Highlights:
- Queer-centered, covid-safer, and intimate strip club vibes
- An all trans lineup with a focus on out-of-the-box masculinity
- Sensational performances by SWers & performers such as Nasty Navi, Juniper Faewild, Kennedy, and more!
- Lap dances available after the first stage set
- A night of mutual aid and community care
- Specialty cocktails & mocktails available at the venue!
We’re here to celebrate, uplift, and have an amazing night supporting our community while fundraising. Come ready to cheer, tip, and enjoy the magic of the strip club brought right to you.
THIS EVENT IS MASK MANDATORY.
For our community’s safety - stay home if you’re feeling unwell! We also strongly recommend isolating / masking in public spaces the week leading up to the show and doing a PCR level covid test or 2 rapid tests taken 48 hours apart prior to arrival if possible. We will have extra KN95s available.
----
Like a traditional strip club, there will be a portion at the front of the stage that serves as our “tip rail.” If you’re not actively tipping, please make space for others to be able to come up and tip/interact.
Please review our ticketing tiers as they are always in motion.
Our $30-$35 tier range is for those who can afford to donate extra towards MA. Consider this tier if you are White or in a place of financial privilege. This helps us offset our sliding scale costs.
Our $25 ticket is GA.
Our $15 + $20 range is our general sliding scale range. Consider these tiers if you are low-income or identify as a BIPOC/ALAANA/Person of the Global Majority. If this cost is still out of budget for you, please DM us.
Our $10 tier is reserved strictly for Black people.
So keeping in mind all ticket sales go towards mutual aid, please do the right thing and only purchase these ticket tiers if they apply to you!
Please make sure you are buying the right tickets for this event. These tickets are for our in-person event. The zoom livestream tickets are hosted on another site, so please check our Instagram for a link to those tickets.
Please note since this is an event put on by marginalized SWs, there are absolutely no refunds offered. If you can no longer attend, please be aware that your ticket will go towards mutual aid regardless and we will try to email out the zoom link on the day of the show. Thank you for supporting your local SWers!
—-ACCESSIBILITY—-
The Newport is in a historic building not modernized with an elevator, and the theater is up a flight of 21 stairs. Four single-stall, non-gendered restrooms onsite.
Though we wish our whole community could access this space, the Newport Theater is unfortunately not ADA compliant (some compact mobility aids have managed to navigate the space, but it is not accessible for all mobility aids). To try and work around that, we do offer a virtual option via zoom so no one has to miss this event.
