Gender Reveal Cabaret - A Celebration of Trans Joy
You're invited to our community gender reveal party!
Gender Reveal is a celebration of trans joy, and a showcase for gender diverse and gender questioning performers on Kaurna land.
Over a two-hour runtime, Gender Reveal will see ten local trans, non-binary, genderqueer or gender-questioning performers sharing acts of peak gender euphoria, or using the stage to explore new facets of their gender identity.
Concepted by Starling when they were first trying to figure out their own gender identity, the Adelaide queer community and its allies are invited to share in this big, queer gender reveal--and yes, there will be cake.
Gender Reveal will be hosted by Diverse-City on Gouger Street on Friday August 7.
Doors open at 7:30pm for an 8pm start.
Dinner will be available from Diverse-City's a la carte menu for a limited time.
Alcohol, hot drinks and snacks will also be available to purchase at the bar.
Strictly 18+

Street parking is available on Gouger Street and surrounding streets. There is also a paid open-air parking lot next door at 171 Gouger Street, or up the road on Oakley Street.
Gender Reveal is produced by Freaky Geek Productions on unceded Kaurna land.
Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Blood on the Clocktower
During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower.
As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day. Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?
A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know.
The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the town.
Dinner from 6.00pm
