review

Has Pride got talent? Well yes and no is the answer!

The Queen's Arms hosted yet another wonderful night of camp cabaret. Amongst the obligatory 'New York, New York’s' and another song about moving mountains if you believe you can, (I don’t know what that was all about) it was all very emotional... Well amongst that, was country and western, the most individual interpretation of Amy Winehouse I have ever heard and this year's Prides got Talent winner - MC Envy, the cute white boy rapper with a shock of very ginger hair telling us all about the one life we have and how it is very important we live it right... thank you MC Envy!

Pride is all about celebrating being different and our winner is certainly that.

Hosted by Spice - the judges included Andy of the Queen's Arms, previous Pride winners and the one and only Chair of Pride himself to make a motley crew of critics who have been taking many X-Factor pointers in their response to contestants.

All together another good night, so lively in fact that Betty Swollocks even managed to keep her eyes open throughout.

loved it?
