“It's about bringing together teens to connect, play games and build confidence to be themselves without their phones.” – Kevin on hosting The Side Quest Society
YOUR STORY
My name is…
Kevin Chu — and you might know me from my ridiculously big drink bottle.
By day (or night), I…
Am a youth mentor, teacher, trivia host, podcast host and pet sitter.
How I first stumbled into hosting at the Little BIG House…
Picking up a crochet gift for my sister from the markets and seeing the LBH sign.
COMMUNITY & PLACE
A moment in Summer Hill that has stuck with me…
Being invited to a house warming party with someone after having known them for 10 minutes.
If I had to describe Summer Hill to someone who'd never been…
I'd say it's a cosy hidden gem in Sydney that has something for everyone.
Something I wish more people in the neighbourhood knew about the Little BIG House…
There are so many different types of events on — and if there's something you'd love but isn't there, you can apply to host it yourself!
HOSTING
I decided to start hosting sessions at the Little BIG House because…
The space is absolutely beautiful and has such a welcoming community — a perfect space for teens to connect and grow.
The event or session I host…
Is called The Side Quest Society — in a nutshell, it's about bringing together teens to connect, play games and build confidence to be themselves without their phones. I also host The Firepit, where we talk about important topics, build our mindset and develop good habits.
It's best suited for…
Teens who like playing games, can have a conversation and don't quite have that friendship group who share the same values — those “forever” friends.
If you came along for the first time, you should expect…
Games and chill conversations. Trivia, tabletop, improv and more! Got a favourite? Tell us what you're keen on and we'll tell you which week to come in.
When to find us…
The Side Quest Society runs every Tuesday from 4:30–5:45pm. The Firepit runs every Wednesday from 4:30–5:45pm.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE ROLE
You'll most likely find me on a weekend…
Going on runs, doing calisthenics/acrobatics, or grabbing brunch or dinner with friends.
A book, movie, show, or podcast I keep pushing onto people…
Tuesdays with Morrie, Diary of a CEO… or The Voices of Tomorrow by Kevin Chu 😉

I've been hosting at the Little BIG House since…
August 2026!
This community is special to me because…
Everyone's here to support one another and everyone's kind.

Filled with good communication and good vibes.
I hope the sessions I host will…
Teach younger people that their people are out there. It just takes a bit of courage to try something new.

The people I've met along the way who've helped me become me.

Went out of my way to spend time with a friend who'd lost their best friend.
