Tingles! Whispering! Relaxation! Give your ears a feast at Letitia Lickkit’s pop-up ASMR BAR! The menu is bursting with your favourite ASMR triggers! Pop on a pair of head phones and feel your tension melt away as you listen to tapping, crunching, crinkling, or a smooth voice tell you a bedtime story. ASMR BAR! is like no pub you’ve ever been to before…

ASMR BAR! is a personal and intimate experience, a sensorial transportation out of the physical and into another reality. Letitia Lickkit uses her calm whispering voice to guide customers through the personalised live ASMR experience. 

AWARDS

Highly Commended – Judges Choice, Wellington PARK(ing) Day 2023, Wellington Sculpture Trust

“A well presented Letitia Lickkit was offering ASMR Triggers from a small pop up bar on the street. ASMR stands for ‘autonomous sensory meridian response,’ which describes the tingling, static-like, or goosebumps sensation in response to specific triggering audio or visual stimuli. Letitia Lickkit drew us in, in a cleverly choreographed way. Once we had headphones on, we were in her power and selected from the ‘bar menu’ of ASMR triggers. The experience was personal and intimate, and a sensorial transportation out of the carpark to another reality. Our faces both lit up with smiles. It was quite incredible. Amy acting as Letitia used the combination of a wonderful voice and expressions to guide the best ASMR experience.” – 2023 PARK(ing) Day Judges
