Last Thursday the great and the good of the gay scene and LGBT+ community came together for the Boyz Awards 2018 party at the Two Brewers.
Hosted by the hilarious Myra DuBois and Lola Lasagne, along with a special performance by Drag Idol 2017 winner Tracy Barlow, the night saw the bronze, silver and gold winners of this year’s poll revealed, as voted for by nearly 10,000 Boyz readers. Plus during the night there were four special awards presented by the Boyz team to recognise outstanding achievement, as well as the first Boyz Award for innovation.
We all had a great time and everyone at Boyz would like to thank hosts Myra and Lola, the entire Two Brewers team, photographer Chris Jepson, all the winners and everyone who came and made it such a fun night. Here’s a complete list of all the winners, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
