Rose Collis and Vg Lee bring their Christmas offering, Bah! Humbuggers (Or Dyke the Halls) to the Emporium, London Road on Sunday, December 1 and Monday, December 2.
Writer, performer and alternative historian Rose Collis will serve up a personally-prepared party platter of songs and stories and reveal the secret behind her famous pickled onions.
Rose has lived and worked in Brighton since 1997. Her critically-acclaimed one-woman show Trouser-Wearing Characters made its world debut at Brighton Fringe 2012, where it was declared a ‘Five-Star Outstanding Show’. Since then, it has featured in arts and literary festivals throughout the UK and, early in 2013, was a hit at Auckland Fringe, NZWellington Fringe, Sydney Mardi Gras Festival and Adelaide Fringe festivals.
Her talks and lectures include sell-out events held at the National Theatre, the National Film Theatre, the Edinburgh Book Festival, The Brighton Festival, Brighton Museum, Bishopsgate Institute, University of London and Charleston.
Her latest book is Death and the City (Hanover Press), available in paperback and Kindle editions from www.amazon.co.uk
Her other books include The New Encyclopaedia of Brighton, Coral Browne: ‘This Effing Lady’, Colonel Barker’s Monstrous Regiment: A Tale of Female Husbandry and A Trouser-Wearing Character: The Life and Times of Nancy Spain.

Vg Lee is a critically-acclaimed author of four novels and a collection of short stories. Her most recent book, Always you, Edina was chosen as
Stonewall’s Book of the Month in 2012 and in the same year, she was nominated for the Stonewall Writer of the Year Award.
Generally a non-festive person, Vg will be reading, talking and musing on just when she first realised she preferred cheese and pickled onion sandwiches to a turkey with all the trimmings.
In her sixtieth year, Lee decided to try her hand at stand-up comedy. Latest 7 Magazine described her as ‘vicious steel under a deceptively benign exterior.’
In 2013’s Brighton Fringe Festival, Lee performed her one-woman play, Lady of the Wild West Hill to packed audiences over three nights. She has performed at many LGBTQ events including Polari at the Southbank, L-Fest and is a contributor of humour to The Lady.
She is at present working on her latest novel, Mr Oliver and Miss Francis.
Rose and VG will be available for a mince pie and mingle after the show at the bookstall.
