Really...this is social history.
Y'know...how many times does Bow - the drag queen - say y'know...countless!
There's one jaw-dropping 'joke' about rape...courtesy of the ogress, Bunny Lewis!
The delusions of grandeur and talent are...mystifying.
Few drag queens have ever made it big...there's a reason...as fascinating as it is...here it is! They're not particularly talented entertainers!
Watch...here

Charlie Squires’ scintillating documentary investigates the late-'60s drag renaissance at one of Britain's oldest surviving gay venues – south London's Royal Vauxhall Tavern, aka the "Palladium of Drag" – before heading up north to meet more anarchic queens on Manchester's working men's club circuit. Peppered with vox-pops and backstage bon mots, this is a valuable and timely rediscovery.
