CLUB BRENDA

EVERYBODY EQUALLY VALID…
EVERYBODY EQUALLY JUSTIFIED…
EVERYBODY EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL…

In 2000, David Hoyle took to his blades at the Streatham Ice Arena and spectacularly killed off the Divine David. The persona he had created a decade earlier had established a unique position in queer cultural life, a sort of anti-drag act caustically lamenting the narcissism of the gay mainstream – ‘the biggest suicide cult in history’ – through song, dance, painting and whatever else took his fancy. In many ways he was an idealistic, even visionary, creation, although the constructive element to his diatribes wasn’t always the focus of the response. David Hoyle’s performance ‘SOS’ is more autobiographical and has been shown at the Soho Theatre, Royal Exchange and Sydney Opera House. His debut feature film released in 2010 “Uncle David’ has won numerous awards.
