review

Despite the driving rain, Queens Arms rallied the crowds for this big, big cabaret event.

Hosted by Lola Lasagne and later by Davina Sparkle, acts included acts from Brighton and beyond, including Betty Swollocks, Julie Glitter, Dame Margot, Trudi Styles, Cherri Poppin and The Boy George Experience.

Cherri was once again on raffle-hard-sell with prizes donated from local businesses, including Prowler, Clonezone and spruce male grooming.

All the artists gave their time for free to support this year's Pride in August.
