Come for Daddy

Every Tuesday at 9pm, Red Eye NY becomes headquarters for the queer gaming and geek community. Hosted by Charles Nordquist and brought to you by GeeksOut, this weekly gathering celebrates all things pop culture, gaming, and comic book fandom with a queer twist — think a rotating Tournament of Gaymers, a D&D Division for campaign nights, and a Comic Book Club for people who actually read them. No cover, high energy, and a Discord community already waiting. Just show up and find your people.

A beginner-friendly line dance class for the queer country scene. Learn two line dances in a relaxed studio setting at Red Eye NY, then stick around to practice with your classmates over cocktails. No experience needed — just leather-soled shoes or sneakers, water, and a willingness to sweat. It's the perfect intro before hitting the dance floor and finding your people in the community.

Crème De La Femme is a queer burlesque revue that treats sensuality like an art form — slow-burning, refined, and unapologetic. Curated by some of the city's most magnetic queer artists, each act blends provocative choreography with genuine artistry, celebrating feminine queerness without the punchline. Inspired by Ballet 22 and Crazy Horse Paris, this is burlesque that melts boundaries and demands to be taken seriously.

A weekly cabaret night at Red Eye NY hosted by Out100's Marti Gould Cummings, with Drama Desk nominee Yaz Fukuoka on piano and a rotating lineup of special guests. Intimate, sharp, and theatrical — it's the kind of show that feels like being let in on something good. No cover means there's zero reason not to show up.

Equality New York brings together the queer community for an evening centered on civic power and voting rights. This is the kind of gathering that reminds you why showing up matters — good people, important conversation, and the chance to be part of something bigger than yourself.

A weekly Thursday night piano bar sing-along at Red Eye NY. Grab a drink, take the mic, and belt out your favorites with hosts Jarvis Derrell and Ty Evans while piano daddy Yaz keeps the energy alive on the keys. It's intimate, unpretentious karaoke and cabaret fun in a room full of people who actually want to hear you sing — no cover, just good vibes and community.
