Southbound

Buttmitzvah
London’s first ever queer Jewish club night has been inspired by teenage bar/bat mitzvah ceremonies. Created by the guy behind Hard Cock Life, not only are Amy Mulled-Winehouse and a Dana International tribute act scheduled to make appearances but one very lucky person will be chosen as a Buttmitzvah boy or girl, hoisted on to a chair and presented with a ‘mildly inappropriate’ version of the bar/bat mitzvah speech to read aloud. The tagline alone is hilarious: ‘The ultimate cumming of age party’. The Glory. Sat Nov 19.
Stevie Wonderland present Rare Pleasures II
