Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Drag queen or comedy ... Harringay's changing High St
Our High St if nothing else is very dynamic! The business offerings constantly evolve, particularly within the restaurant/bar sector. And they need to of course. Recently Blend brought in a pop up restaurant menu for the evenings. Some time back Brouhaha had done the same. Both have proved popular.
For Beans & Barley their shop has gone after just a year (as Harringay Local turns 2) and now they are looking for your ideas for entertainment based within their extended cafe area, with comedy a possibility. Board game evenings are another.
Now the restaurant Tramp is extending its offering from the occasional band night to cabaret, with a 'Young Drag Queen' act. It's not clear yet whether it will come with your mains or dessert but, it all kicks off at 9pm on the evening in question.
Whatever next? 
Interestingly, as Hugh's post shows, such shows were around in this area way back in the 60s.

you are wrong and I did not use that term to mean "breastfeeding mothers". my tweet was not against breastfeeding in public, as I'm not against it. Comment wascabout a particular situation. Whether you agree with my sentiment or choice of words or not on that subject is fine. People don't agree on everything.
I was then trolled by someone in the USA who was looking for a fight. I used the term "breeders" in conversation with them as a slang/short way of saying "people with children in general", again whether you agree with my choice of words or not is fine, but it doesn't invalidate anything I've said over a year later on a different topic.
What is really worrying though, is that there are men on this site who will go to great lengths to try to silence or discredit a woman they dont know for holding different opinions to them, to the point where they have intentionally sat down and made efforts to discover my identity and stalk my twitter profile and Send me nasty messages. Especially when the topic being discussed is about the victimisation and ridiculing of women. Are you proud of yourselves?

I honestly don't know what people are getting their knickers in a twist over. There is some entertainment being offered, if you wanted to go see it then go and if not then don't. Jeez at least they are trying to put something on in the evenings.
Is a drag act really that contentious these days? My god the people of Harringay need to get out more if so!

Just had a look at their fb page. Looks like a complete rip out with the bar going back in exactly the same place! Can't understand why they'd spend dosh on doing that ...
