LipSync 1000

Having already gifted us with The Glory, a bar that’s proven to be just what the drag queen ordered for the East London scene, creative genius Jonny Woo is presenting us with another hot sensation in the form of Lipsync 1000! A new(ish) night for fabulous faux femmes and friends, to dazzle us with their ability to memorize and mouth long sequences of words set to music. Naturally, we were in the front row for opening night.

Donning a leotard and prosthetic nose that left him looking like the bastard lovechild of Katie Hopkins and Rosanna Arquette, the wonderful Woo kicked things off with a hula-hooping rendition of Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ before introducing us to our judging panel, led by Princess Julia.

Contestants vying for a chance to win the £1000 cash prize included Helen Earth asking us to smell her ‘Perfume’, Scarlett John Hansen giving us a, er, frenetic rendition of ‘Do What U Want’ & Miss Giving doing… something that involved a book.

But it was Jonbenet Blonde who stole the show with a perfectly crafted copy of Catherine Zeta Jones’ Chicago show tune, ‘An Act of Desperation’. The applause following her superb slot was enough to crown her the clear winner, through to the final in ten weeks’ time.

Lipsync 1000 will continue every Wednesday until the final in April. There’s still time to enter, so dig out your best wig and bloody well do it!
