Comfort & Joy proudly presents NYE AFTERGLOW - the winter sister of our legendary Pride party - back after a decade hiatus to offer you a spectacular, one-of-a-kind extravaganza for celebrating our journey into 2019!
It’s been quite a year. Our community has faced trials and found triumphs, and whether it’s because you’re thriving or just surviving, we all have something that deserves celebration. It’s also even more vital when the world’s coming for us to support and love each other, and to come together to create a goergeous kaleidoscope of queer vitality.
At Comfort & Joy we love creating magical spaces to celebrate each person’s unique light and offer cathartic escape and revival, and are incredibly grateful for the privilege of providing you with a special New Year’s Eve experience. Just like our pride version, this celebration will bring together supersonic DJs, transcendent performances, illuminating black-light décor, and voluptuous playspaces, setting the stage for you to revel with all your fellow queerdos in euphoric bliss until the break of dawn.
As a prelude to our midnight celebratory madness, Comfort & Joy's Menagerie will present “Mañana”, a mesmerizing, multifaceted spectacle designed to usher us all into a bolder, braver, and more bananas tomorrow in grandiose style.
?Performances throughout the evening will also include:?
* Amazing aerial silk shenanigans by Benn Mendoza, internationally esteemed circus artist and former member of a world champion US Men’s Gymnastics team ?
* Pole-dancing powerhouses Aurora Rose and Cezar Lopez
* Glow hooping go go boy wonders Liam Ocean and Action V Jackson of the Electric Spectrum LED Circus
From doors open until 6am we invite you on an exhilarating dance journey with our supersonic DJ line-up:
MAIN ROOM10PM Allen Craig / 12:15AM DJ D aka Denise / 2AM David Harness / 4AM Power Top Ramen
SIDE ROOM10PM Mark O’Brien / 12AM Homero Espinosa / 3AM Rolo / 4:30AM John Major
PLAYSPACE10PM Dulche / 1AM FACT.50 / 3:30 Xander

Alongside expanded chill area, our new ‘CuddlesInSpace’ zone will feature futuristic biomimetic glow prisms and pillow schemes to curate the potential for more grounded interpersonal immediacy and loving touch.
Upstairs explore your desires more deeply in our luscious playspace, where you can fall into a debaucherous whirlpool crafted by Mikey Mann, Tassel and a harem of other artists.
Comfort & Joy is here for you: if you ever need support or have concerns at our parties, please find one of our 'vibe-raters' (purple glow collars) or a house manager (pink glow collars)
