About

XXL was founded in 2000 by Mark Ames and has since grown into a highly regarded members’ club with over 100,000 followers around the world.

It is the biggest men-only party globally – often copied but never equalled. We offer an attitude free space where our moto is: ONE CLUB FITS ALL

Our twice-weekly London nights at Pulse are the longest running men-only events in Europe; and alongside our monthly Birmingham night at Core Club, attract a loyal group of gay and bisexual males wanting to dance and socialise.

We attract predominantly heavy-set and hairy Bears, Cubs, Chubs, Muscle bears and their admirers from all backgrounds, offering them a safe space where everyone can feel like a VIP.

Our London venue is located on the Southbank and is 2000m2 in size made up of five interconnecting arches hosting three bar areas, state-of-the-art video projection and a vast dance floor; while our Birmingham venue is in the heart of the City’s Gay Quarter and boasts neon lit walls, funky lounge areas and a banging club room.

We play a mixture of cutting-edge, underground, sexy, diverse sounds as well as fun, forget-your-problems, hands-up-in-the-air anthems mixed by some of the world’s best DJ’s including Paul Morrell, Hoxton Whores, Fat Tony.

The health and happiness of our members – and the wider gay community – is hugely important to us meaning our Clubs are strictly drug free and our support of charities and gay social groups long-established having partnered with: Albert Kennedy Trust; GMFA; Mildmay; The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation; Bingham Cup; Kings Cross Steelers RFC; London Titans Football Club; Peter Tatchell Foundation and World Aids Day.
