Support Big Bro's Barbershop's relocation and renovation by joining us for this screening of Broderick Fox & Lee Biolos' documentary, Manscaping! Some of our clients may remember Broderick and Lee shooting around the shop back in 2017. Though this film has not screened yet in Vancouver, Manscaping has been touring around the film festival circuit for the past few years! In an effort to support Big Bro's during this turbulent time, the filmmakers have offered a copy of their film for a fundraiser screening.
- 4:30pm: doors open
- 5:00pm: screening begins
- 6:05pm: Q&A
- 6:20pm: mingling
- 7:30pm: everybody out (or help with teardown)!
Due to this event taking place at a functioning bar, and some brief nudity in the film (courtesy of Australia's "Naked Barber"), this screening is 19+. Be prepared to present photo ID at the door.
Masking is not mandatory for this event, as we want to encourage drink purchases (support your local queer bar!), but we encourage you to bring a mask, and to be considerate regarding close proximity and/or indoor areas. We will have a few masks available if you forget yours at home!

Manscaping is an intimate documentary portrait of three queer men who are reimagining the traditional barbershop. Devan Shimoyama is a Black American artist, fast on the rise, whose barbershop painting series draws upon Afrofuturism and drag to envision the Black barbershop as a more inclusive space. Jessie Anderson is a young transgender Canadian barber and proprietor of Big Bro’s Barbershop, where trans, gender nonconforming, and queer customers know they won’t have to ‘go back into the closet’ to get a haircut. Richard Savvy, Australia’s ‘naked barber’, is a fetish barber/porn actor, and former ‘Sydney Mr. Leather’ who invites you to leave your shame and clothes at the door and to add the transformative power of kink to your cut. Their stories, artistry, and activism model ways we can cut through the toxicity of male fragility in favor of social inclusion and personal freedom.
