SIMPLY SUPREME!
Trannyshack at Madame Jo Jo’s reigns supreme as the busiest Wednesday nighter in Soho. As its name
suggests, it’s aimed at anyone who like to cross-dress or drag up, but is open to all, and attracts a wide
cross-section of late-night revelers. Hostess Dusty O and her ‘gals’ have another packed month planned for
May, kicking off with a ‘Mad Hatters’ competition on Wednesday 2 May. There’s money to be won by the
contestant with the most impressive headwear, and it’s also the birthday party for resident Trannyshacker
Dame Vesta Bules, so expect something “bizarre but fun” with Dusty O, Miss Vanilla Lush and Miss Mitzi
Mackintosh providing entertainment. Wednesday 9 May holds a tribute to Bette Davis and Joan Crawford,
while Wednesday 16 May is a launch party for the Supreme Fabulettes (pictured), while on 23 May
Trannyshack will pay homage to Eurovision. You’ll find Madame Jo Jo’s at 8-10 Brewer St, Soho, London, W1F
OSE. Doors open 10pm-3am. Entry £5 or free before midnight if you dress up.
TOTALLY DEELOODED
Fat Tony’s back with his new Deelooded night – for
a May Day weekend bash at a brand new venue;
Convert (formerly Factory – 65 Albert Embankment)
on Saturday 5 May (10pm and 6am). The aim of the
night is to take an irreverent look at the London gay
scene and some of the egos within it… hence the
moniker, Deelooded! Convert is a new space offering
four bars and two dance arenas with state-of-the-art
lighting and sound systems. Join host Fat Tony and
the legendary Boy George (pictured), Tom Stephan
and Smokin Jo in the main room, plus an exclusive
guest appearance from “the world’s number one
supermodel”! Admission is £12 with a flyer or
advert. For more details, check out the Facebook
page at www.facebook.com/deelooded
POPSTARZ RISING
Popstarz is celebrating the impending release of the
latest Batman movie with a big, Dark Knight-themed
party on Friday 18 May. The team are so excited
about the release of the Dark Knight Rising movie
that they are transforming the club into a
Gotham-inspired fantasy space: the ‘Indie Bat
Cave’, the Riddlers R’n’B Room’ and the ‘Penguins
Pop Palace’. You can also visit Cat Woman’s Lair in
the Sky Bar, where the feline mistress herself will be
giving away goodies.
All are encouraged to dress up for the night, with
free entrance to anyone in costume before midnight.
Otherwise it’s £3 before 11pm with a download from
www.popstarz.org, then £5 with a download or flyer
before midnight, and £8 afterwards.
