THE ZAP CLUB
The more observant ones amongst you will have noticed a lot of strange goings on in Glasgow’s streets recently. Crowds have been springing up from nowhere to watch trench clowns, unicycling escapologists and a rabbit on stilts (to name but a few things!). Yes, Streetbiz has been going down the proverbial storm, and to finish it off Brighton’s famous Zap Club are bringing some of their unique cabaret shows to Glasgow’s streets, pubs and to Nightlile's particular interest, the Bnggau.
As from the 22nd of August, the Briggait will have been magically transformed into a cabaret hall cum nightclub for a week. There will he shows on at lunchtime between 12 and 2pm, and each night at 8pm your host Ian Smith will introduce an alternative cabaret show and then let loose some of Glasgow’s liner DJs on the turntables for the rest of the evening. (Check the cabaret and nightlife listings for each night‘s details). For me, the highlight looks like being the all night masked ball, on the Saturday, with mask and fancy dress competitions and not forgetting the irrepressible Gerry Sadowitz. (Colin Steven)
