You better werk – queer comedy in London.

Let’s strut around Westminster…

The West Mincer tour is a 2-hour extravaganza around some of central London’s most treasured tourist sights led by some rather delightful drag queens. This isn’t a walking tour like you’ve ever been on before – we are going on a fun, fruity and fabulous journey through the city’s streets.

You will worship the massive erection of Nelson, sing (or lip-sync if you prefer) with the Grand Old Duke of York, hear some salacious details of the royal palaces, and find out some of the sordid tales about the seats of government at Westminster.

And if you’re lucky, Maneeta and Mayowa Monaé may give you an excitingly happy ending…

Your Drag Queen Tour Guides

Mayowa Monaé has twerked her way down from Wakanda to douse you in her sparkling, shimmering glory. She’ll bring hyper energy and kick-ass dance moves to your tour and you might well end up cartwheeling down the street with her (we’ve told her not to do it because Maneeta will not be fishing her out of the river!)

She towers high over everyone – and that’s before she puts on her heels. At least that means you’ll never lose her in the crowds!

Maneeta may be slightly dim, but she makes up for it by dressing bright. She will be bringing you some South Asian fruity fun while dancing through London in her heels and telling you about all the facts she’s learned.

If she lets her sari slip, believe us, it’s on purpose. She does love a big reveal.

The Sights You’ll See

You don’t just see the sights when you go on a walking tour with a drag queen; they will become illuminated in glittery glamour!

On this illuminating journey in and around Westminster, you’ll find out some fun and fruity facts about London’s famous sights…

• We’ll get round in Trafalgar Square
• Followed by a strut down Pall Mall
• A quick peek in the windows at St James’s Palace
• We will gaze upon the glorious Victoria Memorial and admire Elizabeth’s Buckingham Palace.
• Stop for a quick break in St James’s Park
• We’ll get on our knees before Westminster Abbey
• And then hope for a sexy sighting at the House of Lords
• Finally we will give the Prime Minister a wave at 10 Downing Street
• And maybe, just maybe, get a bit of a Mayowa and Maneeta special surprise at the end…

We Support The Outside Project With Every Tour

10% of the ticket sales from every tour we donate directly to The Outside Project, London’s first LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter & Centre. Click here to learn more about The Outside Project.

Your favourite queer indie disco for common people is back!

Head to the fabulous surrounds of Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club for some Phoenix Nights vibes with DJs Mike Menace & Heidi Heelz – they’ll be spinning Pulp / faggy indie / post punk / new wave for beatniks, dirtbags and lumberjacks. Stuff like this…

Alanis. Arcade Fire. Ash. Bikini Kill. Billy Idol. Bowie. The B-52s. The Cure. The Clash. Camera Obscura. Dandy Warhols. Elastica. Franz Ferdinand. Garbage. The Hives. Hole. Iggy Pop. Kate Bush. Kenickie. The Kills. Joy Division. The Julie Ruin. LCD Soundsystem. Le Tigre. The Long Blondes. Manic Street Preachers. Morrissey. My Life Story. New Order. Nirvana. Orange Juice. Patti Smith. Pixies. PJ Harvey. Placebo. Pretenders. Talking Heads. Radiohead. The Ramones. Roxy Music. Sleater Kinney. Sleeper. The Smiths. The Strokes. Suede. Tame Impala. Violent Femmes. Weezer. Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

So, people… don those NHS specs, smear that lipgloss on and head down. Like Jarvis sang, we don’t care what you wear. As long as it’s pink and it’s tight.

Advance tickets guarantee entry until midnight – Cinderellas take note!

Try your hand at digital speed dating.

During this difficult period of social distancing and self-isolation the genius minds at DateinaDash have come up with yet another unique concept for singles in London. We are so excited to launch the first Gay Virtual Speed Dating event in London.

All you need to be able to join in the fun is a computer with a webcam or camera smartphone (with a decent internet connection) and you’re ready to go! Sit back, pour yourself a drink and relax as you talk to dozens of eligible singles from the safety and comfort of your own home.

When you join the session, our friendly host will explain how it all works. When everyone has logged in you will be connected to your first date and enjoy a fun and flirty one-on-one video chat. Every 3 minutes a new person will appear on your screen. You can expect to meet around 15-20 people during each event.

Once the session ends you can login to our website to follow up conversation with anyone that you connected with.

Part of an ongoing series of LGBT+ business and networking events at the Civil Service Club.

Join us for a social and business networking drink in the Civil Service Club, a stone throw from Trafalgar Square on Tuesday 27th October 2020.

We are delighted that CEO Craig Jones MBE of Fighting With Pride, accompanied by Co-Chairs Caroline Paige & our member Patrick Lyster-Todd, will say a few words.

Fight with Pride is the new LGBT+ military charity set up on the success of the book of the same name to provide support to and advocacy for all those LGBT+ Veterans from pre-2000 (when the ban on their serving was finally lifted) who lost their jobs.

Many were dismissed, often in very worrying circumstances, with long-term implications for their mental health, with impaired or lost pension rights, medals or good conduct badges removed, careers and expectations trampled over and with even Commissions or Warrants not returned even after the ban went. Others left as they felt they had no alternative, always having to look over their shoulders, impairing pension rights and career success too that they might otherwise have expected. The charity intends to work closely with other Service charities and with the Ministry of Defence itself to agree restitution and provide a solution to these and associated issues so that, swiftly, a final line can be drawn in the sand and LGBT+ Veterans and serving personnel can be more closely aligned, going forward as one single military family. The Veterans Minister has publicly indicated his support of such measures at a Reception in January 2020 to acknowledge the 20th anniversary of this ban going and the exceptional progress made since, except in this one area.

Gary Youssef will also speak about financial education.

All members have the opportunity, not at all compulsory, to say a few words, if they choose to do so, 2 minutes maximum each but most fit this within 30 seconds like “Hi, I am J-F and organise events and get people together, chat with me after to find out more or if you need help with anything”.

Join us for a social and business networking drink in the Civil Service Club, a stone throw from Trafalgar Square on Tuesday 24th November 2020.

His first novel Shameless, published in 2001, was praised by The New York Times.
