Venue-Ready Formats, Built To Plug In

HKNY Entertainment offers a roster of pre-built nightlife productions designed to slide cleanly into specific time slots.

These are not ideas in development.

These are fully realized formats - built, structured, and ready to be placed.

Some productions are limited and seek a single home.

Others are scalable and can run across multiple venues.

All are designed to activate space and drive bar revenue.

We ask for a four-week lead time to prepare and promote.  That's it!

Note:  based on availability, cast may change.

Reach out for INTRO rates if you've never worked with us before.

Payment Structure

HKNY Entertainment operates on a clear separation model:

Venues Pay For:

• Space activation

• Professional hosting

• Reliable programming

• DJ (if applicable)

HKNY Manages:

• Ticketing

• Class or participation fees

• Talent compensation

This keeps venue operations simple while allowing HKNY to maintain fair pay and high-quality execution.  Separate revenue like tickets or Polaroids driven by HKNY is solely revenue of HKNY.  There is no revenue split either way:  we don't ask for bar sales split, and you won't ask for splits from us.

Detailed format breakdowns

Some HKNY Entertainment productions are intentionally modular and layered.

Below are our most involved formats, explained in full.

Residency Styles

Venues select one of two residency tracks:

• Dance Residency (performance-forward, high-energy)

• Camp Residency (character-driven, comedic, nostalgic)

HKNY handles curation, rotation, and scheduling.

Fees & Ticketing

Venue Fee:

$300 for 2 hours of programming

Ticketing:

Tickets are sold by HKNY Entertainment

Ticket revenue is retained by HKNY and used to pay talent and operate the program

Venues retain full food and beverage revenue.

Monthly Residency:  The master Class

Once per month, Pointer Sister Beat Down runs a four-week residency with:

• Boy Gorge acting as the anchor and facilitator

• A rotating special guest instructor (one per month)

Boy functions as the consistent throughline while the guest brings expertise.

Fees & Participant Structure

$300 for 4 hours of space activation

2 hours:  Weekly intro class

2 hours:  Monthly residency session

Participant Fees (Collected by HKNY):

Intro class:  $45 per student (up to 15 students)

These funds:

Pay instructors fairly, sustain the program, and cover operational costs.

Venues do not manage nor receive student fees.

How the Format Works

Booty camp operates as a registration-based competition hosted by drag talent.

• Participants sign up in advance or on-site

• A capped number of contestants ensures pace and control

• The competition runs in short, high-energy rounds

• Non-participants remain engaged as spectators

The format is intentionally tight so it:

• Keeps momentum high

• Prevents dead air

• Encourages crowd density near the bar

Why It Activates Slow Nights

• Competition creates stakes

• Stakes keep people present

• Presence increases drink orders

Fees & Registration

Venue Fee:

$300 for 2 hours of space activation

Participant Registration (Managed by HKNY):

$10 per registrant

Max 15 participants ($150 total)

Registration funds are retained by HKNY and used to:

• Pay hosts

• Fund prize money

• Sustain the format

Venues are not involved in participant payments.

Why It Works Operationally

Lip Service requires minimum setup, does not demand a stage-heavy focus, can be paused and resumed as needed.

It's ideal for venues that want engagement without complexity and consistency without chaos.

Fees

Venue Fee:

$300 for 2 hours

No ticketing required.  No participant fees required.

Payment Model (Recap for Venues)

Venues pay HKNY Entertainment only for:

• Space activation

• Professional hosting

• Reliable programming

HKNY separately manages;

• Ticket sales

• Registration fees

• Class payments

• Talent compensation

This separation keeps venue operations clean and predictable.
