    What a shambles! Whoever hired the drag acts should have their fingernails pulled out! Tasteless and talentless. What is it about these guys that they think they're great? Not funny and not original. Completely unsuitable for that particular audience. I was embarrassed by them. The only dignified act was 'Gloria' and they're a choir for God's sake! If it wasn't for the worthy cause I'd have asked for my money back! :mad:

    While Davina and sidekick didn't exactly blow me away, I thought all of the other acts were excellent, including Gloria, of course. Particularly the Fallen Angels cabaret team - thoroughly distracting!

    All of the people I've spoken to enjoyed the night - admittedly the drag queens Davina and April weren't great, however - all the other acts were excellent

    Dopplegang and Fallen Angels and Gloria were absolutely fantastic

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
