Seven Days: XXL, The Old Ship, Ku Bar, The RVT and more

XXL St George’s Day 

If you want a knight in shining armour this Saturday (21 Apr) then head to Pulse for the XXL St George’s Day party. Italian DJ hero Pagano will be slaying dragons from the safety of the main room DJ box alongside Paul Morrell and Alex Logan, while Joe Egg and David Robson fly the flag in the Fur Lounge.

The Two Brewers

It’s another chockablock weekend down in Clapham at the Two Brewers with the bonkers but brilliant Titti La Camp on Thursday (19 Apr). Friday night there’s the RuPaul’s Drag Race episode screening followed by cabaret from the brilliant Danny Beard and then the Backroom DJ boys are in the Club Bar. On Saturday it’s the Boyz Award-winning KY Kelly and Sunday is, of course, The Power of Three with Miss Jason, Mary Mac and Sandra. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

Busy weekend at the Old Ship

This weekend is extra busy at the Old Ship in Limehouse. On Saturday (21 Apr) John and the team are celebrating St George’s Day with a fundraiser for St James Hospice featuring Heart & Soul and Wilma Ballsdrop. And on Sunday it’s the London Marathon. The pub is right by the route and will be open all day with music and cabaret from Stephanie Von Clitz.

Let it all hang out in Bristol

The Lads Locker Room is a cracking sauna over in Bristol and every Tuesday it hosts a naked session where towels are strictly left in lockers. Walk around in the nude, hang out in the buff, all in a safe and comfortable environment. Can’t make Tuesday? No worries. It’s open 24 hours every weekend!

Rocky’s back at The RVT 

This Thursday (19 Apr) the Boyz Award-winning Two Box Productions are back at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern for another sing-along session of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Watch the film, use the props, marvel as they belt out the songs and routines live, plus you all get to take “a jump to the left, and then a step to the ri-i-i-i-ght…” Book your tickets now from vauxhalltavern.com.

Klub at Ku

If you are in town and don’t want to go home early then head to Ku Bar Leicester Square and go downstairs to the gorgeous Klub where you will find hot DJs spinning phat (that’s the official word) tunes until late seven days a week.

Cybil’s at the White Swan

This Saturday (21 Apr) at the White Swan, Cybil War and her team are coming over all animal at The Really Wild Cybil’s House. There will be amazing DJs, hosts and shows from Grace Shush (Miss Sink the Pink 2018), Margo Marshall, Petite Lamé and more. Get your tickets via designmynight.com

Angie’s birthday at the Duke of Welly 

On Thursday night the unsinkable, unstoppable and always smiling (that may be a lie) Ange, legendary barman from Halfway II Heaven, will be celebrating his 50th birthday with a gathering at the Duke of Wellington. His actual birthday is the next day and he will be accepting gifts and birthday wishes, but mostly gifts, all weekend at Halfway. Happy birthday, Ange!
