Chamonix Aspen, a name to remember, was the unanimous choice of the judges tonight to go forward and represent Charles Street in the national final of Drag Idol.
La Voix and Sally Vate hosted this evenings Brighton Heat of Drag Idol at Charles Street Bar, the best Drag Idol heat staged in Brighton for some time.
Singer J.P. Christian came second, karaoke hostess Trifari was third and Eve Angelical despite experiencing technical problems with her backing track came a creditable fourth.
La Voix a former winner of Drag Idol hosted the show with style and gave the contestants the support and respect they deserved for putting themselves out there, in front of a tanked up Brighton Bank Holiday audience.
Judges for the evening were Stephen Richards aka Lola Lasagne, Chris Marshall manager of Charles Street, chef extraordinaire James Brooks and James Ledward, editor of Gscene.
Production was organised by Rupert Ellick and Lola Holloran.
James Ledward editor of Gscene said: “These competitions often fall flat on their face through the poor quality of the contestants. Not tonight and in Chamonix Aspen, Charles Street have found a unique contestant who ticks all the boxes. She is different, with unique material she writes herself. She struts the stage like a constipated panther and her comic timing is spot on. Imagine a vulnerable Mrs Sufflewick with a topping of Myra Dubois and you will get taste what Chamonix brings to the table. She is very, very funny!
“It was like the good old days this evening in Charles Street. There was a great atmosphere, the crowd was up for a party and La Voix handled the contestants brilliantly. More nights like this will get the locals out and keep the visitors coming back for more. Well done to everyone involved.”
