Seven stars have been born into the Brighton drag and cabaret scene and the graduates of Dave Lynn’s Cabaret Academy are now available to take bookings for professional gigs.
This year’s output include: Welsh rocker Violet Venom, whose act blurs the line between alternative comedy and drag. At the industry showcase, Venom wielded a bottle of vodka, pogoed her way through a Blondie number; and confessed to waking up face down in a urinal and details of her hedonistic student lifestyle in Lewes Road.
Buxom Auntie Robbie told an outrageous story about an exploding toilet and innocently pouting Tammy Tinkle closed the night with belting songs and Gaydar gags.
The event was sponsored by REALBrighton.com and compered by Dave Lynn and Pat Cruise. It raised money for the Sussex Beacon.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
