All these acts appear regularly at the venue, check the “What’s On” page for who is on this week.




		SANDRA: The whore of HampsTEAD One of the most popular acts. Has worked at the venue for 25 years in various disguises, but its on her own that she shines. A natural ability to have a crowd in stitches means you never really know what she is going to do, except that its going to be hilarious. Mixing comedy and singing some of the most popular songs around, Sandra is one whore you’ll gladly pay to spend time with.

	DAVE LYNN: The DraG QUEEN OF DRAG QUEENS A legend in her own lifetime. This performer has achieved a huge amount over the years,and shows no signs of slowing down. She has made several appearances on TV including the award winning episode of FAKING IT, as well as SILENT WITNESS, CORONATION STREET and DOCTORS. She has also starred in numerous theatre productions also. A great voice and comedian, a treat to watch.

		TITTI LA CAMP: ViSUAL COMEDIENNE EXTRAORDINAire Winner of the Black Cap talent contest in ‘93, Titti has gone on to be one of the most successful acts who began at this venue. With her own style of madcap mime and fast costume changes, she packs alot into her time on stage. A organizer of the annual DRAG IDOL competition and the creative driving force behind the DOLLY MIXTURES shows, Titti can be often seen bringing mayhem to the masses. Unforgettable!


	KANDI KANE BAXTER: DELICIOUSLY DEMENTED! The comedy creation of Charlie Hides, this brash American millionairess is one of sharpest and funniest characters seen in years. More balls than Joan Rivers, and equally as funny. This is entertainment at its very best. Classy.

LOLA LASAGNE: THE BRIGHTON BELLE
Award winning comedienne/ singer Lola is another act who’s roots in showbusiness stretch back to the eighties and the lady is still in her prime! Always in demand, Lola has appeared on TV in the WEAKEST LINK, and was the soaps correspondent on the BIG BREAKFAST. She made her West End acting debut in 2005, alongside Titti La Camp in the play le’ Homosexual playing the character Garbo.
For the last few years Lola has been the organizer and host of Brighton Prides Cabaret stage.

LAQUISHA JONZ: HOOTCHIE MOMMA
Another creation from the mind of performer Charlie Hides. Laquisha Jonz is the mother of three and star of several films of dubious repute! From the trailer parks of the US of A to the council estates of the UK, this woman leaves a trail of hilarity in her wake. Can often been seen fronting her own game show “Bling Blang Plong” Laquisha talents are almost as big as her weave!

LIZZY DRIP: THE PUPPET MASTER
Lizzy’s act is a MUST to see. Winner of many awards, Lizzy offers pure theatre with some of the most dazzling and inventive costumes you will ever see. With a multitude of different characters, you’ll never look upon RIVERDANCE or the WIZARD OF OZ the same again.
Outside the cabaret circuit Lizzy has appeared in several stage plays and made numerous TV appearances.


	ROSE GARDEN: THE DRAG TERRORIST Helming from Northern Ireland, this lady takes no prisoners. Mixing comedy, song and audience participation, she offers a riotous show. All this, and she has the best legs in the business too! Just a word of warning .... beware of her lethal hula hoop!


	DOLLY DIAMOND: THE DIVA FROM DOWN UNDER From the land that gave us Dame Edna comes another Australian megastar. A lounge singer who found that the lounge was just not big enough to accommodate her big voice. Dolly sings the classics whilst displaying a genuine talent for comedy with her sharp banter and observations. A crowd puller on both sides of the globe. A truly wicked woman!


	LA GATEAU CHOCOLAT: THE OPERATIC DIVA The newest member of the family came to our attention in the 2007 season of DRAG IDOL and instantly claimed her place as one of the leading acts on the scene. A stunning performer with a trained operatic voice and outlandish costuming gives this lady a demanding stage presence. Very highly recommended.


	KELLY WILDE: THE AUSTRALIAN BELTER The most successful female artist on the scene EVER. Kelly has been performing at this venue for more than 25 years. Her achievements are too many to mention and she has worked with some of the best in the business. Highly energetic show, Kelly never fails to blow an audience away. Her version of Laura Brannigans GLORIA has become her theme tune.


	JACQUII CANN: THE MOTHER OF ALL SINGERS The only other female who can command the stage at the Black Cap. Jacquii Cann won ITV’s STARS IN THE EYES tv show as a Alison Moyet impersonator, but has over the years found her own voice too, so she can sing a catalogue of hits both old and new. Always a delight.

TRINDY: GLAM ROCK ROCKER
Trindy was instrumental in shaping the scene during the 80s as the promoter of the highly successful club “Daisy Chain” at the FRIDGE in Brixton. Friend to many stars Trindy retired from performing for several years only to reemerge, thankfully, a couple of years ago to bring the hits of the 70s back to full effect. No one does this style better. Also performs as one of the DOLLY MIXTURES during major events throughout the year.


	MRS MOORE: STAR OF MMTV Our very own little stick of Dynamite. Mrs Moore reigned supreme ever Wednesday throughout 2007 and will return again in 2008. Multi talented, her show mixes live and mime to stunning effect. Her SHIRLEY BASSEY and her never ending boa is hilarious. Another member of the DOLLY MIXTURES for the last seven years.

MILLIE TURNER: SIMPLY THE BEST
Millie Turner has a long association performing at the Cap and is highly regarded amongst her fellow artists as one of the best mime artists ever. Her TINA TURNER is the best tribute you will ever see ... guaranteed. Unfortunately, Millie has a successful career outside Drag so her performances are few and far between but catch her when you can. An original member of the DOLLY MIXTURES.


	LADY IMELDA: THE VOICE FROM THEATRELAND

		This ever so slightly crazy lady has built up a reputation of processing, perhaps, the best voice in the business. Has appeared in several West End musicals including ‘Miss Siagon’ and ‘The King and I.
