Add Comment Fabulous news! Perking the Pansies, Jack and Liam move to Turkey has made the long list of 10 for the prestigious Polari First Book Prize. The short list of 5 will be announced in September and the winner in November. Holding my breath would be silly, though I am keeping it all crossed. Find out what's on the list on the Time Out Blog and Out in the City. As my regular pansy punters know, I’ve just done a gig for the Polari Literary Salon at London’s Royal Festival Hall. I was in the company of a fine cast of literati - Faarea Masud, Hugh Mulhall, Max Wallis, Catherine Hall and Tiffany Murray. The chorus line was made up of friends and regular pansy characters – Nancy, Murat, Clive, Ian, Matt and Philip. I calmed myself with a quick wine stiffener in the Green Room before I climbed the stage to perform against a sumptuous backdrop of The London Eye and Palace of Westminster. I’m not sure who was the more nervous, Liam or me. Despite the terror, I didn’t fluff too many of my lines. I was well received by the enthusiastic audience and I’m eternally grateful to the wonderful and gifted Paul Burston who made it all possible. |
