Hey y'all, welcome back to Made It Out. Today I'm here with Freya Evans from the Lesbian Slipper Club.
Oh, thank you so much for having me. This came together so last minute. So last minute.
How did Freya start the Lesbian Supper Club?
Everything I've done these past three days has been last minute. I just got ready in half an hour. Like, I was panicking. Well, you look stunning.
I'm trying. This is really high up here. We are like 60 second floor at Spotify. That's where we're at right now.
The view is incredible. Did you feel like when you got into the elevator and you landed, you were like... Yeah. Like vertigo a little bit. Yeah, I've never experienced a height like this in my life.
Really? Yeah, I'm sweating. And it's your first time to New York. Yes, it is. Yeah. So I got so many DMs. Yeah. Being like, lesbian slipper club is there. You have to see them. You have to. So immediately I was like, OK, hey, like everybody is telling me we have to meet.
Well, absolutely. We call it serendipity or we can just call it lesbians. Right. And I think that the lesbian power is like insane. I got a message from you and I was at the airport and I was like, oh, fuck. I was like, this is a Made It Out podcast. I was like, Mal's just messaged. Yeah, let's do this. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I'm already running around everywhere. And I'm like, I will find time.
I love it.
Tell me what you're doing here. Basically, with the podcast, we noticed that we had a load of women that were like, OK, we really need to make queer friends. How the fuck have you managed to do it? Because we always talk about our gay friends. And we thought, how about we make it into an actual night for these women instead of like a meet and greet or anything like this? It's like, no, let's have a night where we all just like get a couple of drinks. We take over a straight space and And have it so it's a bit more sophisticated. It's a different kind of crowd. It's the ones that want to actually meet and talk and listen to live music or a good DJ and just chat and make a community. And we got really lucky because over in London, the girls were like, fuck yes.
We have now three nights a month where we do two lesbian wine nights and one lesbian pub night because lesbians love a pub as well. Like me with a pint. Fuck. Oh, so we then got loads of requests because a lot of our listeners are over in the States and Australia and just everywhere in Europe. So we were like, okay, we may as well not do this lightly and go straight to New York and fuck it up over there. Love. So Scarlett came out here, vetted the place like a couple of months ago and was like, yeah, let's just do it. And now we've got like two nights in a row. We hosted our first one last night. And may I just say as well, the New York lesbians are insane. I know. Beautiful Beautiful I mean they're in London too And LA obviously But like Stunning I was just saying I've said the last two episodes That I'm like intimidated By the New York girls That's fucking cool I'm like oh okay I'm LA You know what I just have to make my accent Really thick Yeah
to put my hot points higher and so that's what I've been doing and it's strategic because it's mixed with that and also jet lag which is just not good for the face it's not good for anything my posture I'm just I was there last night got to like 10 p.m and this is like technically like my 5 a.m and I'm there like
Yeah, you're crazy for doing this. I can't believe. Yeah. Why so short? You have to go back for your other nights in London?
Well, I mean, I think actually we're a bit stupid. I think for lack of a better word.
What challenges did Freya face while building community?
We were like, okay, how are we going to make this the most hectic we possibly can? We're both ADHD as fuck, really bad at organizing. It's a little bit of that. I did say to Scarlett, I was like, why twice in a row? And she's like, I don't know.
It's okay.
And the flights were getting more and more expensive. And the cheapest ones were like the day before. When I tell you expensive, I mean like four grand.
Yeah, that's insane. Yeah.
So we were like, OK, we're just going to have to power on through.
