Super Troupers



We had a great time at Halfway to Heaven yesterday afternoon, thanks to the lovely CK - aka Crystal D'Canter and Kelly Mild, glamorous cabaret artistes extraordinaire.

Madam Arcati has always had a concern that the age of the classic drag queen performer - the type of act that sings and has some patter, rather than those who just dress in funny costumes and mime - was over, now that some of the old troupers (Phil Starr, Dockyard Doris et al) are dead. But these two - each was a recent winner of the "Drag Idol" competition - prove that the spirit of Music Hall, and its successor the drag show, is alive and well and in Central London every Sunday!

The girls are great singers and entertainers, and you ain't seen nothing till you've seen their audience participation version of The Court Of King Caractacus! Here they are at the recent Clapham Street Party:


And here's a sing-a-long for Monday (unfortunately without all the actions!)
