Following a critically acclaimed run in 2023, Hive North bring Offie-nominated Jock Night back to Seven Dials Playhouse. 

‍

Welcome to Jock Night — Manchester’s wildest party, where lust, laughter, and brutal honesty collide. 

‍

Ben is a forty-something Victoria Wood fan searching for love in a world of chemsex and jockstraps. As the nights get wilder, he’s surrounded by party boys who don’t even know who Mrs Overall is. 

‍

Corrie obsessed Kam is self-proclaimed ‘fabulous and undetectable’, hiding his struggles with addiction by being the life and soul of the party. Gym-bunny Russ is gaining Instagram followers but would rather follow Kam. AJ is the fresh-faced twink, about to learn the hard way that the cobbles of Canal Street aren’t paved with gold.

‍

When porn star Hunter arrives Ben must decide whether to follow his heart or keep the party going. 

‍

Jock Night takes you through a year of wild nights in Manchester’s Gay Village, as these men navigate desire, belonging, and the cost of the lives they lead. Sexy and hilarious, Jock Night is an unforgettable night of sex, jocks and Barbara Knox.
