Show review: We Didn't Come to Hell for the Croissants at Riverside Studios 17 January to 4 February 2023

Award-winning cult South African hit We Didn’t Come to Hell for the Croissants has made its London debut this week at the Riverside Studios. It will be short lived so I recommend booking tickets as it will leave the Capital on 4 February. Tickets are now on sale here. The funny thing about this show is that it is unique and controversial. Everyone who wrote a story for We Didn’t…

CONCERT REVIEW: Glam rock Slade at Christmas

Glam rock Slade at Christmas, a yearly event, at Islington Assembly Rooms, standing room and chairs available. F**k me, never been to a rock concert before, and totally love rock. So how did that happen? Work, family, illness, feeling ashamed about my music tastes, my needs at the bottom of the pile, something like that. You’re a mum, you’ll know.

It feels like the house of Lords, a long thin rectangle with seats along either side, so the actors are playing 360 degrees and you all…

VARIETY SHOW REVIEW: A Christmas Gaiety at the Royal Albert Hall

A Christmas Gaiety: A one off ‘Queer Orchestral Extravaganza’. Well, what AM I getting myself into. The mind boggles, all these drag queens bouncing off each other.
