About this Event
Join us for a one-of-a-kind, pop-up Queer Strip Club experience, where we’re bringing the club directly you! Wet Dream Wednesday is our way of honoring Disability Pride Month (in July) & Black August - which means this event consists of an all disabled, majority Black lineup!
You'll be treated to sultry stage sets from our performers during the first act of the event. After a brief intermission, the dancers will have a multitude of services offered and available. There will also be a spankbooth by none other than our favorite, Prince Onyx.
As an event, TBOYS serves as two of the producers' (Navi & Juniper) crowdfunding rent party, so funds from ticket sales after expenses go directly to helping us keep our housing secure as 2 disabled, low/no income trans SWers of color. This also means the majority of our incredible staff and performers are volunteering their time in order to help us meet our needs.
To ensure everyone has a great time, please arrive at doors (7:30pm) 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!

For our community’s safety - stay home if you’re feeling unwell! We also ask that attendees partake in covid precautions leading up to the event.

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 mutual aid 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 multimarginalized SWs, there are absolutely no refunds offered. If you can no longer attend in person for unforeseen circumstances, we send a zoom link to all irl ticket holders so that you can still watch the show virtually. Thank you for supporting your local SWers!
