19/07/15: It’s 7pm on a sunny summer’s evening in South London and I’m arriving at Clapham jewel to the sounds of Pete Waterman’s greatest hits, thanks to the lovely DJ Demon.
The ‘Clapham cabaret mafia’ are arriving early to take their seats, ready for lots of ‘fun and frollocks’ from Brighton’s bubbliest queen, Miss Jason. He opens his show with ‘Almost Like Being In Love’ but soon turns his ‘love’ to ‘lust’ as he notices the new cute barman Leo. “Have you ever slept with a minor celebrity before?” jokes Jase, as his attention then turns to Eurovision songwriter Tony Power, bursting into euro classic ‘Let It Swing’.
This is promptly followed by asking Tony if he can have a recording contract! 9pm and the crowd are eagerly awaiting the voice of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ star ‘La Voix’. The red-headed diva appears, telling tales of her recent trip ‘up North’ to perform at Hull Pride. Or as she puts it ‘Hell Pride!’ After some amazing show tunes, La Voix reminisces about her cruise ship gigs, singing the campest version of ‘The Winner Takes It All’ ever.
The highlight of the performance though is La Voix’s fantastic impressions of Liza, Dame Shirley and Cher and a beautiful acoustic version of ‘Believe’. 11pm and DJ Demon announces that birthday girl, Sandra, is in the building.
Getting the whole crowd singing along to ‘Freed From Desire’, Sandra has the South London boys eating out of her hand, hanging on every hilarious word. Then, out of the blue, Sandra is shocked for once as a sexy strip-o-gram arrives for her Birthday. Looking slightly shy (for the first time in her life) Sandra plays along with the stripper’s sexy antics, the crowd shrieking with laughter.
Power Of Three indeed!
