Big Boys Club

At the last census in 2008, that year there were 188,756 marriages and that means a lot of buck’s parties.  Normally, the organisation of the buck’s party falls on the shoulders of the best man and, usually, due to a combination inexperience and limited creativity the nights are dinner then a rowdy night wandering up and down King st. getting in punch-ons and kicked out of strip clubs.

However, five years ago Big Boys Club was founded by Jeff Yates as a one stop shop for organising an awesome bucks night for all involved.

Yates explains the advantages of choosing BBC, “The difference with Big Boys Club is that you get to know the client and tailor it to them. We team the night time entertainment up with an activity so common ones are paint ball and go-carting but a lot of the time guys really just want to hang out and be men doing an activity like playing poker or playing pool.”


Big Boys Club work with venues to provide buck’s parties with everything they need from big screens for the footy to large indoor areas suitable for a jelly-wrestling ring – that’s right, jelly-wrestling! BBC provides adult entertainment for the boys but, and Yates is makes this point as clearly as possible, a BBC experience does not include the hustling that happens at your usual strip-clubs as the strippers hound clients for tips.

“The cool thing that I like is that we differentiate ourselves from a strip club,” establishes Yates.  “The girls who work for us are on an hourly rate – they’re not allowed to work for tips so they’re not hustling the whole time. A lot of them are quite new to taking their clothes off so we play games like strip pong where if the guys get a ball in the beer cups the girls take their clothes off but if a girl gets a ball in the guy scull.  We also play strip twister and giant Jenga – they’re all really fun ways for the guys to enjoy themselves and their time with the girls without the inherent sleaze of a strip-club.”

Listening to Yates discuss his business it is clear that he is deeply passionate about his customer’s experience. He now explains the duration of an event and what he instils upon his workers as to what their primary objective should be, “The events go for 3 hours, either a 5pm – 8pm time slot or 9pm – 12am. The guys are made to feel comfortable because the girls are there to have fun and interact with the guys and help them enjoy the event so it’s like a party.”

Despite the popularity of the jelly wrestling Yates reveals the most popular package is the most simple, “Most people go for the essentials package that has the topless waitresses, strippers, and man sized finger food. No one once to be sitting down at one of these events so we serve hearty finger food – sliders are certainly the flavour of the month.”

Big Boys Club is also operates as an agency for adult entertainment so a lot of the girls that entertain at the bucks parties have only ever worked for Yates so they are 100% in line with his ethos. Yates explains that the most common activity new applicants are interested in doing is the jelly wrestling, “I would have to say that jelly wrestling is the most common activity girls are interested in doing out the options in the application through our website.”

Finally Yates divulges that after all these years in putting on buck’s parties he has found that he has a highly attuned understanding of the m ale psyche and what guys like. “I think I definitely understand the male psyche – I wanted the Big Boys Club to kind of be a male camaraderie club and I think that demonstrated most clearly to me when I am driving the bucks to the next venue and hearing the guys talk about how great the girls were and how comfortable they made them and how much fun they are having.”
