A night of sapphic burlesque, butchlesque, and strip presented by **Nolan Void** and **Umbra** [TICKET LINK HERE](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1553787/) **Featuring:** Gina Stirling Daddy Charles Umbra Lemon Pepper Baby Nolan Void **Gina Stirling** Putting the 'G' in 'G Spot' and revealing herself as a radical, queer, self-loving act. Gina has been performing internationally in Burlesque, cabaret, and musical theatre for over a decade. A career highlight includes being named one of the Top 50 Most Influential Burlesque Figures worldwide by 21st Century Burlesque in 2021, 2024 and 2025. She has also headlined prestigious international festivals from Perth Australia to all over Europe. **Daddy Charles** Daddy Charles is Australia’s favourite f\*\*kboi with a heart (and harness) of gold. The man-bun-wearing, tattooed, bilingual fantasy you didn’t know you needed, Daddy isn’t just here to leave you on read— he’s here to liberate. A dancer, sex worker and shapeshifter, Daddy Charles says fantasise, not fetishise; to see queer trans desire not as taboo, but as something deeply human, and achingly beautiful. Less walking red flag, more walking sexual awakening—with a gentle, consensual grip on your psyche (and maybe your throat). **Umbra** Have you ever wondered what would happen if that weird shy theatre kid became a huge slag? Well, Meet Umbra! Stepping out from the dark side of the moon with a shuffle, kick ball change, and a little but of snarl, Umbra endeavors to always bring three things; buffoonery, punk, and all your sordid little lezzy fantasies. So strap in, hold on tight, and let this dyke ride your bike. **Lemon Pepper Baby** Stripped, spiced, and freshly freakin’ squeezed Lemon Pepper Baby is rising proud queer Afro Caribbean tease on the scene here to add just the right kick of seasoning to your life. Lemon shines at bringing captivating performances full with energy, blending in her love of comedy and all things sultry to bring you a show you won't forget. **Hosted by Nolan Void** You may have heard of burlesque or boylesque, now get ready for Butchlesque. Nolan Void is a butchlesque / drag king performer from rural Canada who now lives in the big city of Melbourne. They are a producer of local drag and variety shows such as The Anti-Valentines Variety Show, The 2025 Australian Election as Told By Drag Kings and a co-producer of T4T: A Transgender Showcase. ACCESSIBILITY: Please note that Pride of our Footscray is unfortunately not a wheelchair accessible venue. There are two flights of stairs leading up into the bar and no elevator.

Hi Radiant Ladies, After our Saturday walk, join us at Windchimes Café for coffee, friendly vibes, and a relaxed catch-up. 🅿️ 2-hour parking out front. See you there! Lyn 😀

From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill. Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out. Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**. Get your tickets on [EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/breaking-the-habit-of-being-yourself-columbus-ohio-tickets-1984662515008)!
