Dear Trevor…

Dear Trevor
You talk a good game, but when it comes to actually supporting your talk you seem to disappear…?
 
Sad to see you have cancelled your upcoming Hong Kong show. HK is a wonderfully safe city. There’s lots to see and do and it’s easy to avoid any of the protests.
 
The protestors are friendly polite HongKongers of all ages frustrated at their incompetent leaders. If you come across them you’ll invariably find them helpful, intelligent and friendly.
 
If you get a lung full of tear gas or a face full of pepper-spray from our aggressive overzealous police – that’s today’s reality for Hongkongers old and young. But it’s a tale to tell in your shows and on TV.
 
And the only way that’s likely to happen is if you actively want it to. The actions are slow-moving and not hard to avoid.
 
I would though avoid wearing a white t-shirt on the streets, unless of course you enjoy sloppy group kisses from tattooed men holding small dildos.
 
There are occasional transport delays, but nothing that’ll affect your visit significantly. And if your flights delayed our friendly bar owners will be happy to serve you cold expensive beer all night while you wait.
 
Again sad to see you’re not coming, the daily fabrications from Carrie Lam and the HK Police are stronger than most building foundations in China and would give you material for multiple three hour shows.

Dragjam2 – Just because it’s Love @ Bulle d’Art – 16 February, 2019

An alternate celebration of love DragJam2 – Just because it’s Love looked to remind a packed audience that love is supposed to make you happy.

Showcasing the talents or not of Stephaine Slackhouse, Muschi, Pan Sze, Lucy Lucy, Circle K, Llama del Rey, Angilicious and organiser Gabor Zsoka there was stand-up comedy, dance, dating games and of course a big black dildo for a lucky raffle winner.

A fun relaxed night. Gabor hopes to run different themed Dragjams every couple of months to raise awareness of drag, offer a platform for those who want to explore drag and amid the fun to inject a bit of seriousness about social issues.

The Udderbelly cowshed will be full of entertainment, music, food, comedy (lots of comedy) and family fun throughout the holiday season.
