MYRA DUBOIS is ALIVE! At the RVT!
Quality Pub Entertainment!
Myra DuBois is Rotherham’s finest entertainment export since Paul Shane! ‘Common as muck, sharp as a tack and bold as you like’ (Time Out London), Myra returns from what might well be a gloriously successful Edinburgh Fringe run (It’s hard to tell at the time of writing. July.) to launch her brand new weekly residency at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern!
Myra has been nominated for a 2012 London Cabaret Award (didn’t win), was a New Act of the Year 2012 Finalist (didn’t win) and has graced the stage of the RVT before in the now legendary annual pantomimes, as well as in her own regular one-woman shows!
Now she’ll hold court weekly, welcoming to the stage a stellar line up of top-notch guests including a healthy blend of alt-drag, trad-drag, comedy, music, live art, rock’n’roll variety!
As well as the rotating weekly line up of special guests, the stage will be opening up to aspiring Cabaret performers of any discipline wanting to try out their wares before a live audience! The stars of tomorrow; TODAY!
Part Saturday Night at the Palladium, Part Opportunity Knocks this autumn Myra DuBois is ‘ALIVE! At the RVT!’.

The Drag Roast
QX magazine and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern are teaming up for a night of razor-sharp barbs, withering put-downs and more than a pinch of smut in aid of HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust.
The event will see drag legend Sandra 'roasted' by a panel of some of the funniest names on the circuit: Titti La Camp, Lola Lasagne and Dave Lynn, with Myra Dubois as the evening's host. The flamboyant roasters will each take a turn at sharing their own tall tales and personal recollections of the self-confessed Whore of Hampstead Heath, before Sandra has a chance to snatch back the mic and turn the tables on the panel.
Amelia Woods, Senior Community Fundraiser at Terrence Higgins, said: “Over the last 30 years, the support of London’s gay scene for our charity has been amazing, and we’re delighted to see that support still thriving today. We’re hugely grateful to QX and the RVT for organising this event, and to Sandra and her roasters for stepping up to the mic. It’s all for a good cause, with every penny raised going to support people living with and at risk of HIV in the UK, so get your ticket today!”
Doors open at 7.00pm,
Performance starts at 8.30pm.
Tickets cost £10 each, all of which will be donated to Terrence Higgins Trust
