Barry and Stuart'Burn the sorcerous blasphemers' The Guardian
Boogaloo StuIn the bloom of youth, Stu founded a long-running nightclub institution (Dynamite Boogaloo) in Brighton, where Boogaloo Stu - DJ and performer - was born. Encompassing a unique and inspired pop playlist, the night also featured legendary performance pieces from Stu and his associates. 18 years on and the Dynamite Boogaloo brand is still drawing a loyal crowd of followers. DJ-ing opportunities presented themselves and it wasn't long before he launched his own London night, Shinky Shonky. He was soon in demand at other venues, and regular stage shows at other bastions of alternative clubbing such as Duckie soon followed. As a guest star in Duckie's Olivier Award-winning show "C'est Barbican", Stu's antics were given free reign. More recently Stu displayed his Latin American dancing skills in "School Of Dance", his Christmas show at the Barbican Centre, with his partner Miss High Leg Kick.

http://vimeo.com/12380160
When Scottee was 15 years old he was summoned by the courts to attend therapy. Therapy is usually a self motivated action but this had become an obligatory form of performance, with this he entered a world of make believe with Louise Rednapp.
Cognitive sees Scottee present an honest look at ourselves, our emotions, our thoughts and our interaction with others in a forgotten corner of the RVT.
When you arrive you will be instructed to telephone Scottee, from there you will be taken to the very top of the Tavern and explore his teenage bedroom & innermost thoughts.
This is a chance to share what you want with him & get it off your chest. Remember its behind closed doors.
Scottee's work has been showcased at some of the worlds most prestigious galleries & theatres including:
Tate Britain & Modern; ICA; Whitechapel Gallery; Royal Festival Hall; Royal Opera House and Roundhouse. As well as gracing the pages of Dazed & Confused; W and Sunday Times Style,he was also included in i-D magazine's 100 portraits by Nick Knight & awarded 'Performer of 2010' by TimeOut. His brash, clumsy and obnoxious approach to performance has left audiences confused, annoyed & amused. Whatever you think of Scottee - he probably won't care.

David HoyleHoyle publicly killed off this character in 2000 and put his career on hold to cope with a nervous breakdown. After many years as a recluse, David began to make occasional appearances as he says he finds his artistic expression "therapeutic and cathartic".
His two series of shows, Magazine and Magazine the Reprint, in London have played to capacity audiences. In a recent episode of Magazine the Reprint, David Hoyle raised the issue of HIV and AIDS, presenting a film of his own HIV test, taken earlier that day.
His most notable acting role to date was in the comedy Nathan Barley (Channel 4), although he also gave a brilliant cameo in Todd Haynes's film Velvet Goldmine, playing a member of Brian Slade's entourage. He also appeared prominently in the music video for Faith No More's cover of I Started a Joke. Hoyle is currently performing in ensemble theatre piece For All The Wrong Reasons, a collaboration with Contact Theatre (Manchester) & Victoria Theatre Co. (Belgium) alongside other work. From November 2007, David wrote a column for Gay Times magazine, called "David's Debateables"
In October and November 2009 David will be presenting two new pieces of work - On The Couch with David Hoyle and David Hoyle's Theatre of Therapy - at Chelsea Theatre as part of their SACRED season.
Dave's Drop In in 2009 he collaborated with Nathan Evans creating an inventive series of 6 shows to raise funds for Peter Tatchell's Human Rights campaign at the historic Royal Vauxhall Tavern titled "Dave's Drop In". This was styled on a psychiatric drop-in centre complete with assistants in white coats in attendance. David Hoyle was billed as the Program Leader and Nathan Evans as the Centre Director. Special guests from the cabaret, art and performance world featured each week. A large scale painting was done by David during the show, and then auctioned on e-bay for a charitable cause. On one of the weeks it was done in his own blood, which had been extracted live on stage into a champagne glass. The evenings would commence with short films made by Nathan Evans featuring or about David Hoyle, sometimes in character and sometimes as his everyday persona. The production was Arts Council and Lottery Funded, and filmed by Heathcliff Blair of The Media Music Company. A DVD may be produced from the series.
DAVID HOYLE HOT UNT DANGEROUSThe evening begins with a discourse by David Hoyle which will then be extended into the audience with interactive compartmentalised activities in the room after 11pm. Various workshops are open to the public to engage with as if in an artistic Salon overseen by David. Makeup with Joan who does Davids make up, life drawing class with David and Holly Revell's "DARK ROOM" for those who enjoy photography!
