Red Room Redefines LGBTQIA+ Nightlife in Manila with Self-Expression and Queer Excellence

Manila’s LGBTQIA+ nightlife has long been a vibrant and evolving scene, but few spaces truly embrace sex-positivity, uninhibited self-expression, and inclusive kink culture—until now.

Enter Red Room, the groundbreaking event by Casa de Valencia, in partnership with Hoesik, that’s changing the way queer Manila parties. Led by Riri Valencia, the mother of Casa de Valencia, and Jose Panesa, the event’s executive producer, Red Room isn’t just a party—it’s a movement.

Breaking Barriers in Queer Nightlife

Red Room is more than just a night of dancing and drinks; it’s an immersive experience designed to de-stigmatize pleasure, celebrate sexuality, and create a safe space for exploration. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is different—dim lights, deep beats, and a crowd unafraid to express their desires. Unlike other queer events in Manila, Red Room boldly leans into sex-positivity with interactive games, playful kink elements, and a strict culture of consent, allowing attendees to engage at their own comfort levels.

Games like Stick and Dare encourage flirtation and chemistry, while Wheels of Kink and 69 Seconds Blackout introduce an edge of thrill, proving that queer nightlife can be fun, provocative, and still rooted in respect.

A Stage for Queer Excellence

At the heart of Red Room are its performers, who push the boundaries of drag, dance, and self-expression. Riri Valencia, the renowned impersonator of Rihanna and Sabrina Carpenter, leads a fierce lineup that includes:
• Empy Radora, the reigning queen of La Union and a force in Northern Luzon’s drag scene
• Kho Kho JaCole Valencia, a bearded queen who blends stunts, choreography, and charisma
• Dyxtruxia, a show-stopping performer known for flawless makeup, fierce dance moves, and high-energy stunts
• Hennessy, representing the iconic Cubao drag scene with attitude and charm
• Jexie Moore, a trans drag queen bringing a fresh, dynamic presence from Mandaluyong
• Asha Sole, a dancer with unmatched stage presence and a fiery performance style
Adding even more heat are the Kink Krew—Lance, Harold, RJ, and Raymond—Red Room’s very own Magic Mike-inspired performers who know how to work the crowd with sensual, high-energy routines.

A Safe Space for Desire and Identity

What sets Red Room apart is its commitment to consent, inclusivity, and dismantling taboos. While many queer spaces focus solely on drag and performance, Red Room opens up the conversation around sex-positivity, kink, and self-discovery—without shame or judgment. By creating a space where attendees feel empowered, not just entertained, Red Room is setting a new standard for LGBTQIA+ nightlife in Manila.

The Future of Sex-Positive Nightlife

Red Room continues to evolve, with upcoming theme nights exploring roleplay, body positivity, and sensual wellness. With every event, Casa de Valencia and Hoesik are rewriting the rules of queer nightlife, proving that safe, sex-positive spaces aren’t just possible—they’re necessary.
