History and description edit
The Doof Shed, measuring 1.53m x 0.74m x 1.88m, was built and furnished in Sydney, Australia from a repurposed corrugated metal shed with the help of the twins' father to fill a need after the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia upended Sydney's nightclub scene. The exterior graffiti-style logo was applied in bright neon paint while the interior contains hallmarks typical of a nightclub, including a fog machine, smart lighting, a disco ball and a Pioneer DJ setup. The capacity of the nightclub is just 7 people, potential patrons must enter a ballot on DoofShed.com.[2][3]
