By which I mean a family outing to the Adelphi Theatre last night to see my old friend Michael Hobbs camping it up in the musical version of Kinky Boots. Despite it being a noble British tradition embodied by Danny La Rue, Lily Savage and Mrs. Brown’s Boys, men dressed as women has never been my thing. But Michael was great and Matt Henry, who played Lola, was fabulous. Watching him, I kept thinking “Who do you remind me of?” and realised that (when not in drag) he’s a dead ringer for Labi Siffre. Any excuse to play the original version of this.
I saw my mate in kinky boots.
