THE GRUFF AND the rugged

were out in force for yet
another turbo-boosted
party as XXL, who raised
the roof on Pulse with a
pumpin’ ‘Octobearfest’
bash, last weekend.
London may not be able
to match the range of
booze and bratwurst on
offer at the Munich beer
festival but, featuring an
entire block-rockin’ spectrum of
beefed-up shenanigans with a
thirst-slaking Germanic twist, we can do storming
gay club nights better than anywhere else
on the planet. Monumental antics in the
main room saw deck daddy, Christian
M, tearing up a soundtrack of
slamming commercial dance tracks
that had the hairy hunks throwing
their hands up ‘til closing time. Next
door, top disco dude, Joe Egg, set
the dancefloor ablaze with a barrage
of retro choons from the past to the
present. Elsewhere, the reconfigured
darkroom saw QX Club News fumbling
around in the shadows amidst a bevy of obliging
blokes, whilst the mega-sized lounge terrace
attracted as much through-traffic as ever.
Back inside there was still plenty more to
come on the DJ front from the likes of
Alex Logan and Mark Ames, as the
thrill-seekers ran amok
right through ‘til 7am.
Check out the action this
weekend as the capital’s

QX CLUB NEWS got into the

amorous spirit of things as
Fitladz packed in the cheeky
Romeos for an ‘October
Love Affair’ special at
Barcode, last weekend.
Featuring the sort of saucy
scally antics that make
your aunt Mabel reach for
her smelling salts, this night
of boozing, cruising and top
DJ action, saw a randy crowd
of lovely ladz getting frisky across
two rampant rooms at one of the horniest hotspots in
town. Highlights on the dancefloor
included the Fitladz resident
DJs working up a storm with
uplifting licks in the front
bar and dirty grooves out
back. Elsewhere there was
plenty of action behind
the camo-curtains, not to
mention an arousing array
of sweaty shenanigans
in the upstairs darkroom.
Outside the throng took
advantage of the mild evening for
hours of schmoozing (and snogging)
on the Barcode terrace, complete
with a panoramic view of the
MI6 building. We don’t know
what Britain’s intelligence
spooks must make of the
Fitladz frolics, but we think
it’s a great way to start the
weekend. Check out the
Fitladz fun for yourself at
Barcode every Friday and

WHEN WE SAY
we could have quite
easily gone home
and tucked
ourselves
into bed on
Saturday night
- we’re not
joking - but
why would
we do that
when there’s the
potential of taking a
tasty lad with us? And
when we considered a
tray of shots for less than a
tenner and glancing over an array of attractive boys
like we were picking an outfit (well, we’d hopefully
have one of them wrapped around us), it just seemed
rude to reject the invite anyway. Cut to us skanking
out on the dance floor like Ciara on speed. And when
the DJ dropped Britney’s latest “British accent” mess
of a single we were showing her how to ‘Work Bitch’.
After a night of molesting cute boys (OK, maybe
those shots weren’t so wise after all) and pissing off
ex-lovers we left Ku Klub like Ariel walking on land
for the first time. Fierce. We’re not quite sure what it
is about Ku Bar that always gets us lick up (and we’re
sure it has nothing to do with the bottle of vodka we
accidentally drank while getting ready) but it keeps us
coming back for a good night of commercial tunes and
tipsy twerking. And at least we left in style, strutting
(staggering) off to hail a taxi with clutch
bag (and foot long sub) in tow.

Sandra had us on our knees and the Cheeky Girls had

sharpened their stilletos to mark 10 years in showbiz,
with a tight, hi-energy show that whooped up the
Ealing crowd of coifed boys and mulleted girls. Backed
by DJ Rich, the 5-song show rang out remixes of their
signature tunes and a few arm-wavin, air-punchin club
anthems including one from a new album targeted for
a Christmas release. The punters cheered, hooted and
hollered for more - a welcome return for the hardest
working twins on the scene. Asked what they’ve
learned on the rocky road to fame, they both sighed:

 MYRA DUBOIS’S SUNDAY SCHOOL
06/10/13
MANBAR, 79 CHARING CROSS ROAD, SOHO, WC2H 0NE
WORDS BY JASON REID
PHOTOS BY CHRIS JEPSON

THERE IS nothing
particularly restful about
Sundays out there in
cabaret-land. It’s the day
when revellers, who are
partial to a sequin or five
hundred, venture out
in their droves to their
favourite afternoon/evening
of kitsch entertainment,
determined to squeeze every
last drop out of the weekend, and
to do it in style. And there’s never been a time (as far
as we can remember - hazy memory though) when
the choice of Sunday soirées in Central London has
been greater. The latest venue to get bitten by the
infectious drag bug is Manbar - the place we usually fall
into at 2am to simultaneously slurp sambuca and flirt
unashamedly with the beefed-up bar boys.
The ambitious itinerary of cabaret kicked off last
Sunday with a new weekly gathering, Sunday School,
hosted by Myra Dubois. Supported by Britain’s
Got Talent trio The DreamBears, who served up
a selection of well choreographed dance routines
in their own fierce, furry and fabulous fashion,
Myra treated her congregation to everything from
Britney Spears - reggae style, through to a maniacal
performance of Fuck the Pain Way, backed by
resident organist Sarah Bodalbhai.
As Louis Walsh would say on the Snore Factor: “You
really make the song your own”. And Myra certainly
does that. You’re through to the judge’s houses in
Bognor, dear. She mixes it all up with humorous
anecdotes and commanding audience control (god
help you if you don’t pay attention). Weaving amongst
her disciples she has a great knack of being able to
talk TO the audience - in an imperious way of course
- having off-the-cuff conversations, rather than talking
AT them. This creates a relaxing atmosphere and feel
- which, let’s face it, is what you want on a Sunday.
A night with Myra is almost like visiting
your eccentric yet glamorous mad aunt
in the nursing home. The one we
mustn’t discuss at family gatherings.
And that mad aunt has been on the
gin, and whiskey, and advocat, and
Night Nurse. And boy does she
have opinions.
Auntie Myra packed them in and
carried off an impressive debut of her
Sunday School. Another soirée to add to
our Sunday cabaret crawl list…

DR ALEX, GP

Dear Dr Alex
Waking up and logging on to Grindr the Sunday morning
after a night out, I get more messages than during the
whole week, coming from guys high on G (amongst
others), inviting me to ‘chill-outs’ all over the capital.
The guys messaging me are incredibly fit, their bodies are
perfect, their skin seems flawless – everything you’d never
expect from somebody who’s using drugs every weekend,
not eating or sleeping for three days.
I am doing my best in the gym, my nutrition is
incredibly healthy, and although I am generally quite
happy with my body, I feel like I will never look like
‘them’. Following a little research on the web, I
discovered that GHB, besides making you high and horny
for the whole weekend, promotes growth hormone
production, and therefore aids muscle growth and even
skin or hair growth, and generally sounds “cleaner” than
other drugs, with no side effects in the right dosage.
My brain tells me to step back from the party drugs, but
my body feels like it’s missing out on the big fun. What is
your view?
Martin, 28, East London
