damo Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Leeds has them, Manchester has them, why are there no drag bars in sheffield? I can think of at least 10 very good quality drag acts in Sheffield who could perform in them - thats a different drag queen every night .... Maybe open up the new Matilda bar which used to host drag acts and it was gay friendly ...... What do people think? Name these ten acts and don't include Tia Anna as he is neither A) Good or B) Quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobbo Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Are the artistes as good as Paul O'Grady and Danny La Rue ? I love anything like that. No. Most drag acts, in my opinion, are just fellahs who want to dress up in a frock and wear make-up but have little talent in the way of an act. When gay bars were found in out-of-city-centre venues, drag acts used to pull in the punters. But, as SpiderPete suggests, there is no demand for them anymore.

Karis Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Im surprised no new artistes have followed Danny La Rue or Paul O'Grady. I'm sure there are loads, but with all the effeminate and mincing celebs on TV these days, there really isn't a need for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carborundum Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 They always entertaining and there are plenty of them in Sheffield - top of my list was going to be the fabulous Tyranna Tia Anna Rex who is multi-talented .... Im not sure Kanja Batch is a full timedrag queen - doesnt she work in Nettos also scanning the bar codes? What about Penny Change she is very rude and thus is very good - its a prerequisite of a drag queen to be rude to the punters ... and there must be more in Sheffield but names escape me at moment ..

gnikojm'i Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 would there really be a market for a venue to have drag acts every night of the week! i dont mind seeing an act every now and again but i really wouldnt go every day, probably not every week either, more like once every 3/4 months.
