Burlesque Arm Wrestling

Get ready for a night of glitter, grit, and glamour as Ruby Slippers hosts the one-and-only Burlesque Arm Wrestling showdown at The 86 in Fitzroy. This isn’t your average wrestling match — it’s a theatrical spectacle where feathers fly, sequins sparkle, and strength meets sass.

The evening kicks off at 5pm with doors opening for drinks and mingling. The first show starts at 6:30pm, featuring the dazzling Reuben Kaye — a performer known for blending cabaret, comedy, and pure charisma. Whether you’re here for the camp, the cocktails, or the competitive spirit, this event promises something for every guest.

Enjoy drink specials and a lively atmosphere as you cheer on the competitors, who bring drama, diva energy, and athletic prowess to the ring — yes, the ring is real, and so are the high heels. You’re welcome to come solo, with a date, or with your whole crew — this is a space made for fun, celebration, and inclusive fun for all.
