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.

Once a month Elni hosts our Port Phillip and Bayside socials. It’s a great opportunity to meet others. Our emphasis is on fun and enjoying each other’s company whilst supporting anyone who might need it. We each pay for our own food and drinks.

Please join us this Sunday. It is an open social session where we will discuss any topics attendees are keen to discuss. I will also prepare some philosophical prompts for us. **We will meet at the Captain Melville at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp.** **We kindly ask attendees to pay $5 to attend to help with MeetUp costs & venue costs. This is not mandatory, but if you are a regular member it would be appreciated. Any extra moneys will go towards buying food and drinks for the table.** There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged. This event is also posted in the Socrates Cafe group. Hope to see you there!

In the spirit of Anzac Day, this Sunday's conversation will be about the subject of War and Peace. The discussion will be stimulated by quotations from the world's leading thinkers. As a special one-off offer, **meals and coffees will be on me.** **That's right, I am shouting!** So hope to see you on Sunday, note the new time of 10 am. Please RSVP by Saturday 10am if you are coming. Regards Vahid
