Get naked in the foam 

This Sunday (24 Sept) you get to dive in the foam at Nudity’s Naked Foam Party at Union from 3pm. There will be big bad tunes and loads of frisky fellas all naked as the day they were born. Wahoo!

Talk of the Town at the Two Brewers

Talk of the Town is a special show this Friday (22 Sept) in the Club Bar at the Two Brewers from 7pm. Hosted by the marvellous Saucy Sophie and featuring cabaret soul music duo Heart & Soul.

Cabaret at the G&D

The Duchess always has something ‘adequate’ up her sleeve at the George and Dragon in Greenwich. This Friday (22 Sept) you get the tartan songbird, Mary Mac and on Saturday it’s a helping of Lasagne, Lola Lasagne. Sunday all hell is let loose with three amazing acts, Mary, Sandra and special guest Tony Sinclair.

Miss Jason at the Old Ship

The classy and amazing Miss Jason is back in Limehouse for a night of outrageous fun at the Old Ship this Saturday (24 Sept). Get ready for an evening of songs, insults and bawdy humour from one of the scene’s best loved queens.

The Retro Quiz with Lola Lasagne

Every Tuesday evening the fab Miss Lola Lasagne hosts what we think is one of the best quizzes in the fair city. The Retro Quiz at Retro Bar off the Strand is a mix of piss-easy questions, name that song conundrums and totally crap prizes. Well, what do you expect for a quid per player entry? Plus DJ Heidi Heelz turns those wheels of steel.

Hard Up at Sweatbox

Soho’s only gym and sauna exclusively for gay and bi men hosts Hard Up Thursdays and Mondays every week where guys under 25 years of age with valid ID get in for free from 10am until midnight. And with universities all over the capital welcoming their freshmen all this month, it should make for a busy start to autumn.
