From today's Argus.
The Lady Boys of Bangkok are looking for a new venue.
This year may be the last the annual attraction can appear in Brighton’s Victoria Gardens because the area is about to have a revamp.
The Brighton and Hove City Council scheme will redevelop the area from St Peter’s Church to the Old Steine.
It is due to start this summer and will mean the area will be affected for at least the next two years.
A Lady Boys spokesman said: “The council is in the process of finding us a new venue for the show.”
Personally, I think the whole thing is an anachronism, although I do understand the argument that shutting such entertainment suggests a lack of openness to another way of life. Is it a peep show, little different to the Victorian fairground, or is it an expression of sexuality? Should it be found a new home in Brighton?
