HAD ENOUGH GAY PRIDE?! READY FOR SOME GAY WRATH?!
THEN GET READY FOR HOLE-MANIA!!!
Your favourite queer dance party, Shandy, is stepping into the ring for a tag team triumph with drag menace Gogo Bumhole to bring you the party of the YEAR!
The dance floor and the wrestling ring have finally come together in Magan-djin for an evening of DJs, DRAG and DEBAUCHERY, as we channel the melodrama and camp aesthetics of professional wrestling (without the yucky politics & misogyny)!
The night kicks off with our COMMUNITY SMACKDOWN - we’re inviting representatives from across the rainbow to fight it out and be crowned as the true HOLE MANIACS of the community: DOLLS vs TWINKS vs BEARS vs DYKES - who will win?
Competitors will face-off in feats of skill and strength including, but not limited to:
- Beer Chuggin’
- Ass Smackin’
- Lube Wrestlin’
Winners will be awarded the honour of choosing the gay agenda for the year ahead.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Join us for try-outs at echo&bounce on Sunday 24 November 2024. Check out Shandy or Gogo’s Instagram pages for more details to come.
To celebrate our champions, we have arranged a pantheon of party legends to quench your queer party cravings - with the city’s sexiest DJs and freakiest shows - curated by Sweaty Baby & Gogo Bumhole.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED. LINE-UP SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED!
This night is a 100% filthy feral queer take-over of The Tivoli - prepare to enter the wild wrestlemania fantasia of your dreams!

NOTES FOR THE EVENING
- This event takes place on Stolen Lands of the Turrbal & Jagera/Yuggera people. We acknowledge all Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded. This was and Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land. We offer deep respect and love to our First Nations communities, on this land and across the world.
- We want people to feel as safe and welcome as possible, so please feel free to message the Shandy Instagram or Facebook page with any queries or concerns.
- As always, please don't assume any one's gender or pronouns. If you get chatting with someone, it's as easy as a quick "what are your pronouns?" and you can carry on.
- Consent is key – ask before touching and await a clear response; fuck yes or no thank you!
- Be respectful and considerate – do your bit to make the space safer and more comfortable for others: a party is only as good as the people attending, and we all have a role to play in having the best night ever!
- Racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, or transphobic behaviour/attitudes will not be tolerated. Please see Shandy team members, barstaff or security if someone is making you uncomfortable.
- Last but not least, look out for your friends and other party-goers & stay hydrated!
