HKNY ENTERTAINMENT · NEW YORK CITY
PRODUCTIONS
ORIGINAL SHOWS. REAL ROOMS. UNFORGETTABLE NIGHTS.
Four entertainment properties. Multiple formats. One production company.
HKNY Entertainment develops and delivers live experiences for nightlife venues, hospitality operators, event buyers and commercial sponsors. Our productions have their own artistic identities, casts and formats—but share one operating principle: a memorable show needs talented people, sound planning and clearly defined commercial commitments.
Explore the catalog, choose an experience that fits your room or occasion, and tell us whether you want to book it, host a sponsor-funded edition or back it as a commercial partner.
THE LIVING THEATER · VARIETY COMPETITION
The venue changes. The cast changes. The theme changes. The bill is never the same. Vaudeville brings ten acts from across performance disciplines into one competitive theatrical evening: singers, dancers, drag artists, comedians, magicians, musicians, puppeteers and the unexpected.
Its first five Bills are The Inaugural Bill, The Seven Deadly Sins, Blue, Revolution and EuroPop 2027. The competition includes a $1,000 Grand Prize, $500 Runner-Up and separate free audience recognition through The Headliner and Encore. The sponsorship target is $5,000 per competition edition.
DRAG REVUE · DUO / TRIO / FULL CAST
Two, three or four drag performers. One fabulous night. Barbies From The Bronx is a rotating revue built for nightlife, hospitality venues and special occasions, with a cast and running order assembled for the individual engagement.
Choose the Duo for an intimate room, the Trio for greater variety or the Full Cast for a larger show. Local sponsorship targets are $2,000 for two entertainers, $2,750 for three and $3,500 for four. Private bookings are quoted separately.

BRUNCH ENTERTAINMENT · DANCE / CAMP
A residency or a one-off occasion, built around a specific musical, cultural or entertainment theme. Tribute Brunches offers Dance Residency and Camp Residency formats that pair live performances with a venue's food-and-beverage service.
HKNY works with hospitality operators on the theme, cast, number of shows, program timing and production requirements. Sponsorship and private booking prices follow the individual engagement rather than a universal tier.
THE MATCHMAKING BALL · HOSTED SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENT
Real conversation, lively hosts, structured introductions and playful interactive games. Gay Speed Dating NYC brings a produced social experience to a suitable hospitality venue, with optional VIP enhancements and a private, consent-based approach to mutual matches.
The standard local Matchmaking Ball begins with a $2,000 presenting sponsorship. Participation, registration, ticketing, age eligibility, privacy and additional guest experiences are established for the particular event.
Back a show or recurring series in return for specific commercial benefits. Packages can include “Presented by” recognition, approved event artwork placement, linked sponsor features, and named host acknowledgments. Sponsorship funds production delivery—not control over casting, voting or private guest information.
Invite a sponsored show into your bar, lounge, restaurant, nightclub, cabaret or event space. Under HKNY's standard sponsor-funded model, the venue retains its own bar and ordinary hospitality revenue and pays no standard entertainment booking fee. Special staffing, equipment and operating costs are agreed before booking.

SOCIAL & MATCHMAKING EVENTS — Gay Speed Dating NYC
An intimate venue does not need the same production as a large club. A brunch service has different requirements from a ten-act competition. HKNY considers capacity, audience, location, timing, technical conditions and commercial objectives before recommending a format.
We distinguish hospitality from show production. Venue operators retain control of their premises, ordinary staffing, food and beverage service and house rules. HKNY manages its contracted performers, creative program, sponsorship commitments and production responsibilities.
Every confirmed engagement establishes the roles, costs, equipment, insurance, permissions, ticketing arrangements and cancellation terms in writing. A concept, inquiry or website listing is not itself a confirmed performance date.
Each production maintains a dedicated website for its creative world, audience information and specific opportunities. HKNY is the sales and production headquarters across the portfolio. OpenCall.NYC is the separate discovery platform for artistic patronage and commercial sponsorship opportunities.
Whether you need entertainment for an occasion, have a venue available, or want your business associated with New York's live creative community, start with the production that interests you. HKNY will help determine the commercial and operational fit.
WE MAKE THE SHOW. WE BRING IT TO LIFE.
