Panti, Veda, Dizzy & I had a great laugh on our over-nighter to Belfast. That is, if you ignore the fact that someone was trying to kill Panti and that we were all in bed, drinking cocoa and watching late night chat shows, by 1.30am. Talk about Rock ‘n Roll lifestyles!

Here are some of the photos (and, no, that’s not Dizzy in the bikini. It’s hostess for the night, Titti Von Tramp!) Read more

It doesn’t mean you’re a total simpleton. The fact is, Bingo is one of the world’s most favourite pastimes. And with me as your host, you’ll soon see why. Read more

Gaze at gays in celluloid

gaze LGBT film festivalThe 19th Dublin Gay Film Festival takes place this weekend. These days, it goes by the name Gaze – see what they did there? – and it has a jam-packed cinematic programme for your visual delight. There seems to be no short supply of really inspiring, beautifully shot films that look at every imaginable aspect of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered lives. This wasn’t always the case of course… and if some people had there way, we’d still have deValera-era censorship. Read more

Can I Book A Table?

The venue is a pub so all seating (apart from selected reserved areas) is on a First Come, First Served basis. It’s often standing room only from very early in the evening, so don’t dilly-dally over your outfit. If you can’t see me, then the odds are I can’t see you so all that worry over your fashion choices will have been for nothing.

Of course, some of the best seating in the house can be reserved. If you would like to book a table (for a small number of friends), get in touch using the form below and we will do our best to facilitate. If it is a special occasion, be sure to mention it so we can do our best to make a fuss/ignore it/ruin it.

Wherever you sit (or stand), there are screens situated around the premises so you can follow along with the Bingo or watch performances in diet-inducing “widescreen”. Read more
