ABOUT US

One of Sydney's most iconic venues, Kinselas boasts an intriguing history. The Chapel, with its high and ornate art deco ceilings, is a striking tribute to the building's history as a funeral parlour. It was the headquarters of Charles Kinsela from 1933 until 1982 before it was redeveloped to a pub.

PEACOCK - GAY / QUEER STRIP EVENT

Welcome to the inaugural Peacock - all gay and queer strip event at Kinselas, Sydney!

Lets Begin

Immerse yourself in our strip club scene where you will be surrounded by our talented and stunning dancers for the night!

Feast your eyes on our special feature shows running at regular intervals throughout the night, as well as ambient podium and pole performances, and intimate VIP private shows.

Spread across THE STANDARD (Nightclub, Level 2) at Kinselas, make yourself comfortable amongst the lounges, stages, podiums, poles, and a curtained off VIP mezzanine.

You are encouraged to soak up the atmosphere, talk to the dancers, make it rain with tipping dollars, and most importantly - spend some quality time in the VIP area.

To get you started, we have included tipping dollars and VIP experience tokens in your ticket.

Additional dollars and VIP time can be pre-purchased or bought on the night via the QR codes posted around the venue - once you've made your purchase, collect your dollars and tokens from us at the entrance.

$10 = 10 tipping dollars
$25 = 5 minutes VIP Token

We have DJs providing the ambience for the night, special themed cocktails, and of course our feature shows for your viewing and tipping pleasure.

There will be a photographer present for most of the event capturing shows and ambient performances. Should you wish not to be photographed, please tell the photographer at the time as we respect your wishes and privacy.

THE NITTY GRITTY

VIP experiences are the hero of Peacock!
A VIP token gives you 5 minutes with your dancer/s of choice.

This is your time to connect with the performers - ask for a lap dance, chat about your fantasies, spill some secrets you can't tell anyone else!

You can also share time with your crew, think steamy threesome energy or group buddy fun - each of your crew will need to give the performer the required tokens for the time spent together.

Stock up on tokens and share amongst friends!

We emphasise respect and consent when it comes to interactions with our dancers - whether on stage, while hustling amongst you, and in the VIP private shows.

This is a strictly no sex on premises event.

In your VIP time we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy your erotic experience. Groping/penetration or any other inappropriate behaviour will be dealt with by security. We wish to keep you and our dancers safe and comfortable.

This night is different from a regular show.

The event is set up to run like a strip club, for the queer community and friends.

It is a platform for queers to be horny and voyeuristic together, just like our hetero friends can, and like we can overseas.

The dancers are there to make money and have a joyful, playful time together with you.

We ask that you keep this ethos in mind before stepping foot in to Peacock.

We believe stripping can foster great experiences for everyone if we set out with the right intentions - help us bring gay and queer stripping in to the community of Sydney in a safe and respectful way.

Who is behind Peacock?

Peacock is produced by two dancers - Chris 'Blue Phoenix' and Ben 'Benjamin Butterfly' - who have been working around the world in dance, pole and strip for many years. We want to create a space where gay and queer dancers can work in a strip club environment connecting with patrons, hustling, performing, earning the bucks, and offering exclusive and sexy VIP experiences. If heteros can express their horniness together, then why can't we?!

Tickets

$65 Standard ticket = entry + $10 tipping dollars + $25 VIP token

$90 Baller ticket = entry + $10 tipping dollars + $50 VIP tokens

Tipping dollars

$10 = 10 tipping dollars

VIP token (5 minute experience)

We are so excited to launch Peacock, and we look forward to sharing this new experience with you all on 18th October, Kinselas in Sydney. See you there!

We've had our pink eye on this monsta-mansion for many years. Both the venue and our team can't wait to spread our whoresomeness to every nook, cranny, orifice and dance floor.

Here's a sneak peak at what to expect, however as we love to have you all moist with anticipation... we're keeping our ghastly room themes under wraps for now... with all the juicy details dribbling out over the coming weeks.

Crypt (Basement)
Descend to our transformation of this former mortuary turned thumping underground tech/house club.

Chapel (Ground Floor)
Ascend to an uplifting vocal & melodic house euphoria, as we bring this original double vaulted art deco chapel to life.

MiddleBar (1st Floor)
Step into a perverted playground of sickly scenic & insta-moments, plus a d-floor... to die for.

Standard Club (2nd Floor)
Elevate to this monstrous two story supaclub, with transfixing tech & visuals, putrid production shows and thumping club bangers all night long.

Plus as always, we'll have a few more sordid surprises on the night ;)

LINE-UP

All our 12 x devilish DJs will be revealed torturously soon.
