Julian Clary: Lord of the Mince (WYP, 26/10/10)

Last week we had an evening of camp entertainment from 'National Trinket' Julian Clary in his Lord of the Mince show. Coming on in roller blades, before having a member of the audience remove them so that he could mince properly, Clary was consistantly hilarious, spouting innuendo after innuendo, and generally giving the audience a great time. 

Nervously sat on the front row, we escaped any comments, but a couple of audience members were brought down so that Julian could perform some 'mind-reading', and pretend to pull sex toys out of their asses of course! You would think that so much campery and innuendo would be wearing after a couple of hours, but he never outstayed his welcome, and there's something oddly sweet about how Julian Clary delivers a line, even if the subject is fisting or rimming... 

The show was clearly scripted, and performed well, yet the best bits I thought involved Julian's interactions with the audience, and his ad libs to their answers. He also read a couple of pieces out of the Yorkshire Evening Post to demonstrate how poor the news outside the South is - it turns out that Julian Clary can make anything sound rude. I had a gay old time.
