7 Days for St Patrick’s Day: Ku Bar, XXL & Popcorn plus the launch of Drag Idol 2017

Ku Bar St Patrick’s Day

What better way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day than by having a craic with those sexy leprechauns across all the Ku venues as they say ‘Welcome to the Emerald Isle’. On the day itself (Friday 17 Mar), you can expect a full on Irish party with music and drink – think B*Witched, U2, Westlife and Guinness – plus downstairs at Leicester Square in Klub, from midnight until 3am, you get very special guest DJ Phillip Andrew, who’s flying in from LA, mixing up a Hollywood house music dancefloor Riverdance.

The launch of Drag Idol 2017

This Wednesday (22 Mar) the great and good of the cabaret world will be descending on Clapham from all over the UK for the launch of Drag Idol 2017 at the Two Brewers. Hosted by Drag Idol queen bees Crystal D’Canter and Kelly Mild, this very special night is the official start of this year’s contest and will feature performances by a selection of past winners and Drag Idol stars, including last year’s champ Vileda Moppe. The heats themselves start at the end of April in venues all over the country – see details at dragidoluk.co.uk.

G-A-Y Porn Idol with Stacy Francis

This Thursday (16 Mar) Celebrity Big Brother runner up Stacy Francis will be the special guest judge at G-A-Y Porn Idol. The America’s Got Talent star will be on that glittering sofa alongside Baga Chipz and Mary Mac, and if you want to strip for them then just send a message to 07789 553 868 or email [email protected].

XXL St Patrick’s Day

Those bears and blokes at Pulse will be getting ready to kiss the Blarney Stone on Saturday (18 Mar) as the gang at XXL celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Expect a host of emerald green delights plus those brilliant resident DJs giving it some serious geg across two packed dancefloors.

Popcorn St Patrick’s Day

If anyone on the London scene knows about celebrating the luck of the Irish for St Patrick’s Day then it’s that charmer from Galway, Nadim, promotor of Popcorn. And this Monday (20 Mar) he’ll be seeing out the weekend in true style at Popcorn Charm with a full Irish dance troupe plus DJs Fat Tony, Gonzalo Rivas and guest Pedro Sedso in Sanctuary. 

The DE’s back at the RVT

It’s that time of the month again when grown men are reduced to a gibbering mess on the floor of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern as the unsinkable DE Experience takes to the stage at Sunday Social. Edna will be delivering sizzling one-liners and marvellous songs while DJs Simon Le Vans, Liam Chaplin and Sean Sirrs twiddle those knobs.

Backroom St Patrick’s Day at the Brewers

On Friday (17 Mar) the Club Bar at the Two Brewers will be decked out in shamrocks and green mirror balls as the team from Backroom party like it’s St Patrick’s Day, which will be! DJs on the night will be Sam Londt, Liam Chaplin and guest James John.

Cabaret and the Dragon

It’s all go again this weekend at the George and Dragon in Greenwich kicking off on Friday (17 Mar) with Dave Lynn. Then on Saturday (18 Mar) it’s Mary Mac and on Sunday (19 Mar) – be afraid, be very afraid – the Duchess is back! Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
