Papa Party Returns To DC with Superhero Themed Event
Local gay party producer Q, aka Mother Fantasy, of La Fantasy Productions, aims to put DC on the global party map.
"I see Papa Party as the chance to put DC, the city I love, on the global party map," said local gay party producer Q, aka Mother Fantasy, of La Fantasy Productions, last March when he was promoting the first DC Papa Party, ‘Army of Love.’
The event took place at L8DC nightclub and was a phenomenal success.
“Eliad was so impressed with the partygoers of DC, he was eager to return," Q explains today. The Eliad he is referring to is Eliad Cohen, a social media phenomenon who is also the founder of the Papa Party brand. “We talked about doing something bigger. Since Papa Party and La Fantasy Productions both have superhero themed parties, it felt natural to bring them together for one explosive extravaganza."

Q has become one of DC’s leading party producers. A military veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, he got his start in nightlife as a bartender in New York and New Jersey.
He began in DC by hosting private events in his penthouse apartment. As the events grew - some included wild surprises like dancing Chinese dragons and dancers in electric body suits - he expanded into club venues. “It’s all about creating a magical experience with exciting surprises that turn up the wow-factor and leave revelers craving for more,” he says.
Today, his sold-out events are peppered with nightlife glitterati including transgender model Amanda Lepore and actress Dominique Jackson, from TV’s “Pose.”
“Our crowds continue to grow with guests coming from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Miami, North Carolina, Delaware and even Canada! We strive to create a safe space where everyone from circuit professionals to newcomers feel welcome.”
