Danny La Rue visits the club
1985
At Christmas 1985 or 1986, Danny La Rue was performing at the Hippodrome next door and the club sent him an invite along with a bottle of champagne. It was the same treatment as any star from the theatre would have received. Danny wrote back saying that he may pop in at some point later that week. jinks realised his mistake, he had invited the whole company not simply the cast. “They arrived en block and we were inundated with superstars. Danny loved the fact that he was not being mobbed or being asked to sign autographs.”
