You know nothing can limit you except your own imagination! Luckily our imaginations seem limitless, and also luckily, we have the spaces in which to experiment to our heart’s content. I love the way the performative arts cross so many boundaries and question everything.
I’m a great fan of these impromptu moments. Take The ShayShay Show – Brave New Queer that’s on at Lime Wharf down on Vyner Street, E2 on Friday 20th from 6pm. Star of our underground scene ShayShay invites friends Just May, Johnny Jones, Wanda Ross, Harry Wright and more to be part of this ‘lo-fi night of queer performance’.

I’ve just been informed that Kings Cross pub & club Central Station

It’s getting hard to remember a time when weekly Saturday late night club Savage at Metropolis didn’t exist tbh! The stories of Savage are wild and it’s really one of the success stories of clubland…resident DJ’s include Jonjo Jury and I’ll be guest DJing on the 21st in one of the bars!
On Wednesday 25th January, Lobotomy Room Goes to the Movies, the cult free monthly film night at Fontaine’s, in the Bamboo Room, 176 Stoke Newington Road is showing Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls. It’s one of my faves! If you haven’t seen it you must… prepare to be inspired.
