It's the most common worry we hear. Here's how we make sure first-timers leave feeling like they belong.
You won't be the only solo guy
More than 60% of attendees come alone. The room is built for it.
We greet you at the door
Tell us it's your first time and we'll introduce you to people right away.
The activity does the work
You don't have to make small talk from cold.
Leave when you want
Stay for the social or head home early. Both are normal.

Finally a gay event where I felt seen
I'm 47 and most gay events make me feel ancient. This one had every type of guy — single, coupled, all ages.
— Marcus · Comedy night, JuneMy first gay event ever
Was so nervous to come alone. Within 10 minutes someone introduced themselves at the bar.
— Theo · Comedy night, JuneWorth every penny (which is barely any)
£10 for a line-up that would cost £40 anywhere else, plus a drink and a gift bag.
