Two surprises were waiting for me at the King Edward VI pub in Islington tonight: one was to find that Kari, former Barcode Vauxhall and The Eagle manager, had taken over at the Edward VI, and the other... well the photos should help with that!

I thought I would be just snapping the place and the locals but apparently accidentally (cough) arrived as a fantastic sexy show started on the stage... College Boy!

Talented (in all the right areas) and highly entertaining, College Boy had us with our hands up in the air cheering and laughing our heads off. His range of movements, the interaction with the crowd, his eternal smile and his... huge, massive enthusiasm, left us all wanting more, more and more! It's no surprise to us that he was voted "Male Stripper of the Year" 2009 by Boyz Magazine readers.

I can only say positive things of the night and the place - friendly long running gay pub with great bar-staff and fantastic "drop-in" atmosphere.
