Brighton, Brighton, Brighton. Population: Seventy millions. Number of piers, Nine. Average sexuality: Thirty. Shoe size.

But just who are Brighton? REALBrighton photographers moved amongst ordinary Brighton folk that occasionally drag up and wear makeup. In our series of photographs we aim to show you just who these people do, what they are, and why.

What better way to launch a week or so of Winter Pride events than with a bloody good party thrown by the Wild Fruit team? What better excuse do you need to get a frock on and get sweaty with everyone than putting a bit in the pot for good causes!?

Yeah but, no but, yeah but Vicky Pollard was there, hand in hand with Daffyd, the only gay in the village. Marjorie Dawes, the FatFighters group leader, was there dancing along to Pete Haywood and D'Johnny as they rocked the house. Pyrotechnics, lasers and a kick-arse sound system ensures that Wild Fruit continues to rock our little worlds.

The Little Britain themed night raised over £1000 for Pride in Brighton & Hove and marked the start of a week of fundraising events (more info below).

The anticipation was high as Wild Fruit’s latest theme cult comedy and opened its doors to Little Brighton. Admittedly having not seen much of the show, at first I wasn’t sure whether people had dressed-up chav or we’d simply been invaded by dozens of tracksuit wearing clubbers.

And the prize for the best costume goes to... any of Markie and friends are in the running to be honest - a fabulous effort, and it was obviously a good giggle getting ready by the looks of it!

I'm not quite sure how he managed it, but even in that get-up, Markie managed to find his way around the club and get some snaps. Clipboard in one hand and camera in the other...
