READING’S Bar 77 was transformed into a little slice of hell for an evening as a regular drag event at the venue returned.
Big Jay performed as the Devil when they hosted Seven Deadly Sins, bringing a cast of seven other drag performances embodying the sins.
After an opening number from Big Jay, PumpKing took to the stage portraying the sin of pride, followed by Tony Baloney whose portrayal of the sin of greed saw them don a collared shirt and black slacks for their corporate-inspired performance.
Duac embodied the sin of sloth, complete with wearable pillow and duvet combo for their sleepy routine.
Amelia Dreams portrayed the sin of lust with her routines, complemented by Dorian Gay’s portrayal as the sin of envy.
Mx Mel Anin performed as the sin of wrath with a high-kicking, energetic number, and Oxford-based Cairo Ali performed routines as the sin of gluttony.
Cairo also hosted a musical intros game with members of the public, who were tested on their knowledge of lyrics to be in with the chance of winning a free shot from the bar.
Big Jay performed a final number to close the show, and announced that £80 had been raised for the Mermaids charity through the sale of badges at the event, which would continue to be sold at future events in aid of the charity.
They have a regular residency show at Bar 77, downstairs in The Outlook, Kings Road.
