Queer Passion Pitch Brunswick

Sick of dating without substance? If you're queer, part of the millennial crowd, or just someone who craves connection that goes beyond small talk — welcome. Passion Pitch is your space to meet, share, and vibe with others who get it.

Think of it as a charmingly chaotic blend of 'Shark Tank' meets queer speed dating — but make it playful, inclusive, and full of heart. No investors here, just genuine curiosity and maybe, just maybe, a spark with someone special.

Here’s how it works:

• Prepare a 6-minute presentation — whether it’s a PowerPoint, a spoken monologue, or even interpretive dance — to share your special interest. This could be anything: from your secret baking talent to your obsession with obscure 90s anime.
• Don’t have a passion? No worries. Just unleash your pet peeves. Sometimes complaining together sparks the best connections.
• After everyone presents, the audience mingles. If you liked someone’s pitch — let them know. That’s your green light to chat more.
• Bring your own interest — or come ready to discover someone else’s. Presenters often find the most spark, so why not be the star of your own story?

Accessibility & Vibe

We’re committed to making this space safe, inclusive, and welcoming for everyone. Palomino Bar is fully accessible, with gender-neutral toilets. Masks are encouraged, and natural ventilation is available outdoors. Please RAT test before attending — and stay home if you’re unwell or have been exposed to someone who was.

Please respect each other’s space and boundaries. Flirting should always be consensual — and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination or unwelcome behavior. Report any concerns directly to the host.

Getting here? The venue is a short walk from Anstey station (Upfield Line) or the 19 tram on Stuart St (non-accessible stop). Let’s keep this space joyful, weird, and wonderfully queer.
