Another Tuesday and another throwback to celebrate my 26 years in Entertainment and my upcoming 10 year OFFICIALLY in FULL TIME Drag 😂

This is only a few months ago, but deffo worth mentioning - i got to perform at @leicesterpride , my home city, which is always a joy and honour to be able to do! Last year was extra special as the @dovercastleleicester had not only put me up to perform but supplied me with some very talented dancers - and under the direction and choreo of @jack22gibson i think we put on quite the show :)

Scary to think that I’ve been on stage longer than these lads have been on this earth 😂 still kept up with them though 😂

Here we are again - another Throwback Tuesday …. And today i post piccies from 2 influential shows in my career. Its amazing that over 2 decades on and i still find myself humming the tunes - that in itself is testament to how they helped shape me later in life.

The first was ‘A Slice of Saturday Night’ originally performed at the @thelittleleics studio in 2002 under the direction of @varnam1 - its was my first proper out of college performance, and i loved it. It went down that well, that we closed the 2004 season in the auditorium. Some amazing memories with amazing people.

The other show was Les Mis, performed at Guthlaxton College and was honestly one of the most talented bunch of people i think ive ever worked with. The video clips will come in a few weeks - but for now some cast pictures, and yes i did rob the sash, some of the posters and a copy of the running order - why? Coz i like to have these things so i can post about it 20 years later 😂

For those that know me, you know this post has been a long time coming, with the comments of - ‘how is that car still going?’ 😂. I got Sister Mary Clarence (Silver Ford) just before lockdown - so March 2020 on a little over 91,000 miles. She has finally driven her last clocking up an impressive 240,000!

So i introduce you to the new Fanny ride, not sure of a name as yet …. But here she is with her heated seats and cruise control - i feel my bottom and legs are going to thank me!

A few clips for this weeks Throwback Tuesday … its 2008-2011 and i blessed to be placed at Littlesea in Weymouth. It was the site i stayed at the longest and really did feel like home, and i got to work with some amazing people.

Yes, the first 2 clips are the same show, and same section, but it was supposed to have 2 dancers, and when someone was off, we just had to make do 😂 many a night, due to holiday or illness, we would have to blag placement on stage - most of the time, as it was happening 😂

Also used to love a little dance break, dont think i did too bad with @bex_beardo during ‘Dancing Fool’! The last clip was the legendary Tori Green. We did have a giggle with karaoke in the Mash and Barrell - and yes, this was a welsh accent 😂

It’s Throwback Tuesday - for those not in the know, 1st Jan 2000 is when i performed my first paid gig, and April 2026 marks 10 years to Fannys First gig - so every Tuesday until 14th April, im digging into the Archives of what got my here …. And todays is Drag related.

The year is 2021 …. We are coming out of Covid, and this was my 5th year hosting @pride.in.weston so id got to know the locals very well over the years, and when @chriss.miley from @wearemethoddancecompany asked if we could do an intro to the event- i was in. It was all learnt remotely and we had a few runs before we recorded. The idea was to record this in the morning, it was to play on the screen to the Pride audience, then at the end, when we run towards the camera - we would run into the venue like it was happening live. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN, and something i still look back on fondly. Method@and chrissy are amazing to work with and we had a few more collabs over the years!

Again, im not a dancer- but i will always push myself to do something more :) enjoy :)

Cheers - i LOVE MY CUSTOM mug from the new GM at the @dovercastleleicester, i think chris is going to do very, very well and the description - well it couldn’t be more on the nose 😂 Sunday was amazing, lovely crowd and @joshua_omang celebrating his Bday WITH HIS BDAY BADGE FROM LAST YEAR. He kept it nice and safe for the occasion. Of course we said goodbye to @joe__mcdonnell (how dare he improve his job prospects by moving to London)

And finally, i added the AI challenge to the end of the roll. First one had a cigarette, not sure where that came from so asked for it to be removed on the second one and tbf im not offended

Its Tuesday Throwback time - to mark my upcoming Decade in Drag - taking a time down a 26 year memory lane of milestones that helped Fanny become Fanny!

This week, no vids, just pics - as socials weren’t invented (as we know them) back in 2000! My first ‘big’ success was as Male Vocalist ‘Matt Lewis’ performing my first ever gig at the Eyres Monsell WMC on 1st Jan 2000 aged just 14 - i would work every weekend with the help of my dad @brownjoseph80 who would drive me around, help set up/pack down … and help push my promo - coz you must remember Facebook didn’t arrive until 2004 so if you wanted work, it was an agent and Promo Packs.

Promo packs consisted of a text document about yourself, and promo material such as Photos (see some cracking examples attached) and Key-rings ….. which, i might add, were all assembled yourself - you couldn’t order them pre-done - empty cases, print outs and hours of cutting, stuffing and clicking together. Then if course a CD, yes there are 2 Matt Lewis CD’s which you would sell after your gig, out the boot of my Dads Fiat Punto for a Fiver, cash 🤫 some banging tunes, which can also been seen in the camera Roll.

I would perform in clubs and pubs around the Midlands from 14-18 years old, every weekend, whilst going to school/college. No Sat Nav - just a Map Book and print out of AA autoroute. It would come to an end when a joined Haven Holidays in 2005, but they were great years and an amazing place to learn some proper basics!

On the subject of School - the final pics are from the @leicestermercury 2001! I was chosen by our year head as one of 6 students to be followed through our GCSE’s. See my school, Alderman Newtons, had joined with the School next door, New Parks, to form a ‘Super School’ and we were the first students to sit GCSE’s having been students at New College Leicester - so it was quite a big thing. So my face got plastered in the Paper alot 😂 and we got interviewed before and after every exam. New College is no more but has just changed again to @herewoodeacademy … all these shape a child and i honestly believe that these things helped prepare my, unknowingly, for what was to come some 16 years later.

So last year we had a wee BBQ, and one of the attendees was @miss_rubyv_ _ …. Now with a few guests in attendance, we had to whip out some ‘emergency chairs’ one of which was a chair that was here when we moved in, so as you can imagine - not the most sturdiest of weathered plastics!

The Chair sadly experienced its final derrière in the form of Miss V as its leg buckled under the immense … Talent. After the laughter died down, and we checked she was Ok 😂 it became a memory that will last forever.

Fast forward to Christmas and the @leckychapel Christmas meal, i was presented with this gift from Charlie, so now its not just a Memory its a physical reminder of that epic event, which now sits in our garden close to the sit of our fallen comrade! RIP our faithful chair!

Surround yourself with people like this! Thats all i can say! 😂

Its Throwback Tuesday in honour of my 26 years in Entertainment and 10 years in Drag. This week we have a few clips from my college days - honestly some of the best days - learning and coming into my own surrounded by some wonderful people.

I had to pop the clips together, but below are the time markers should you want to skip ahead … we used to put on a Cabaret night every year where we all performed numbers, as you will hear, swing had its second wave in the early 00’s

2002 - Mac The Knife (0:00-2:45)
2003 - Leaning on a Lamp (2:45-5:50)
2003 - Well did you Eva (5:50-10:30)
2004 - Aint that a Kick (10:30-End)

I must admit, Well did you Eva was one of my favourite things i performed at College, after Les Mis of course - and those moments with Tim were wonderful - we had such a giggle.

@sirdavidattenborough is a national treasure and that has been confirmed by a couple of our boys yesterday …. When catching up with a program about Wildlife in London, Dylan loved learning about the foxes, whilst Bramley had his eyes on the birds! @davidattenborough

So with Insta being the delight it is, if you try to post Videos and Pictures in the same post, it does some unattractive Cropping. So here are some snippets for last night that ive popped together for your viewing pleasure …. Yeah we spent the last few hours on chairs and tables, and what 😂 a couple of things to watch out for - in clip 2, even in a semi drunken state - @19.jay.89 was concerned about the health and safety aspect of there being ‘no room’ on the bar and Clip 3 - yes that is my arse being shown at the request of @miss_penny_dq but, in my drunken state, i never realised my NEPHEW was in the eyeline of it 😂 @alex_shaw18

Last night we celebrated the 23 run of @jimbobcockerill at the @rainbowanddovepub @dovercastleleicester and @helsinkiclubleicester …. It was PACKED, and what a night we had - im only just feeling human now.

James has been a force in the Leicester scene for over 2 decades, tirelessly keeping the doors open to the last 3 remaining LGBT venues in Leicester - many have come and gone, but James belief in keeping these venues alive has out lasted them all!

So we all met at the Rainbow last night to thank him, celebrate with him and each other, and just have one more party before he jets off. It honestly felt like 2001 last night with so many wonderful faces.

So thank you James for being a friend, an employer, a rock, a nightmare, a constant light, and someone who can keep a ‘6 point speech’ going for 52 Minutes 😂❤️

Another Tuesday is upon us in the run up to my 10 year Fanniversary …. And last week we saw a clip from 1999 where i dare not leave the stool … now ive never claimed to be a dancer but i can move in time 😂 and this week we have 2 clips from a couple of Haven Holidays Shows.

Now for those that maybe dont remember these days, Funstars was the name of the game, and we worked 6 days a week doing everything from Character Breakfast and Kids Clubs, cash and Prize Bingo, to party dances, gameshows, presenting - and of course the In House Show Team Shows.

All 36 Show Teams would meet in Feb at one park in the country and we would learn, on mass, the 3 new shows for that year - we had 3 days per show. The shows werent always in our key, they were always songs that we would sing, but they were fun, and a highlight of the evening for all of us.

Was every note perfect? No, were we running on adrenaline, coca cola and McDonalds - Yes 😂 most importantly we got to perform and bring joy to people on Holiday .. good times.

Also just to mention, i doubt i could sing and dance like this now, id be gasping for air - and please note in the second clip the Hips and Twirl 😂

Look who i had watching my show at the @cockatooclubmcr last night …. I deffo knew it was the Cheeky Girls, and i didnt realise half way through the show, then have to style it out with amazing comic wit! 😬😬 i think i got away with it 😂 they were really lovely and took the abuse well 😂😂

So this weeks Tuesday Throwback is a VHS recording from 1999. It does look like the kind of thing you see on a BoyBand Documentary 😂

This is Golden Sands, Haven Holidays - and we used to visit a Holiday Park every year and the highlight for me, was entering the talent competition - it was a big event back then as the winners would be invited back at the end of season for the Grand Final which ment a FREE HOLIDAY.

In this i would have been 14 (so Year 9) and i was very nervous, especially as i was singing with the In House Band (wouldn’t get that now). I was given a stool as i didnt know what to do, and the classic boyband ‘rise and walk’ makes an appearance. In terms of vocals, not bad for 14 but you will hear an odd accent. This is because we didnt have the lyrics on the internet 😱 we learnt songs by listening to them on repeat, and this ment i picked up bits of Ronan Keatings accent 😂

Also ive left in a clip of one other contestant, you see him in the first scene, but they call his name at the end, just incase you cant work it out - oh and Dad @brownjoseph80 makes an appearance too.

I need to talk about my first weekend back - with it being January the expectation is that gigs maybe quiet with Dry January and people lacking the funds post Christmas/New Year ….. but all my gigs this weekend shocked me!

Thursday @craftybullshead was nice and busy, @dovercastleleicester on Friday night was deffo bringing the party with a full house, saturday @eden.birmingham again was really busy, but the one that shocked me as Sunday. I really wasnt expecting many in, but they just kept coming, we had no chairs or tables left - it was giving Bank Holiday Vibes! And not only were all the venues busy, but all the audiences a JOY! A genuine JOY! So thanks to everyone that came out this weekend and made my first weekend in 2026 a pleasure!

Also forgot to mention- we gave away a TV! Happy 2026!

We do love a day trip and managed to get a couple in, the first being a trip to the famous Market at Puerto De Morgan, and a ride out on the ‘Super Cat’ on a Dolphin watching tour - which is the closest ive ever been to Dolphins in the Wild…. And yes i did have a Nap on route back to shore!

The next was an island tour to the North including the Old Town to see a beautiful Cathedral, plus a visit to Las Palmas, and a stop at the Botanical Gardens …

And we do love some Mini Golf, which i will admit Jay won every game - but Bowling is where i shone …. Talking of shining, the weather at the beach wasnt bad 😂😂

Just catching up on the Insta posts for 2026 …. We spent 10 days in Gran Canaria, where the weather was mixed (but obvs not as bad as the UK) snapped a few Rainbows, but all in all was a lovely relaxed get away :)

So, our holiday in Gran Canaria is coming to an end, and there will be the inevitable Sunny Shore Snaps to come, but in the meantime you can have this beauty.

I’ll pop it into context …. This is Scott and Ryan, or as some of you may know Scott - Miss Thunderpussy - the queen and very good friend who helped (pushed forcefully) me into Drag. Scott opened up a rolodex of 20 years Drag Experience to me and helped me on the path ive been on for a Decade - a path that has enabled me to have wonderful holidays, find my fiancé, buy a house, own a car ….. and much more. His wisdom and knowledge were freely given with nothing wanted in return. And i am eternally grateful.

Now fast forward to this week. Im scroll social media (which normally i find quiet toxic and full of rubbish) and i see that these 2 legends are in Gran Can at the exact same time as us, a wee fb message later (having not communicated since 2020 😂) we met that evening and it was like 6 years had never past! Sometimes social media is a blessing in disguise. This piccy is post meal the following night - sometimes the hands of fate push people together and both @19.jay.89 and i are glad they did, as we had a wonderful evening of food, convos and giggles - see you in 2032 gents!

(EDIT - ive worked out how to add all three full length clips together)

So following on from last Tuesdays clip from the Mid 90’s …. We fast forward to a part of my entertaining career that you will see a few more posts about. Haven Holidays. Growing up visiting these sites, as many young children did, i dreamed of being on those stages as a Haven Mate. At the age of 19 it came true and i spent 8 wonderful seasons as a Funstar with some amazing teams working my way up from Male Vocalist, to add Presenter, assistant Manager and finally Entertainments Manager to the CV. This part of my life gave me so many skills, as we had to do EVERYTHING.

It was early mornings, late nights, 6 days a week - lots of drinking and parties, and lots of giggles - so one aspect of the job was the nightly Party Dances - where we got to have a little bit of a mess around and be super silly!

Ive found a few videos, as again, smart phones weren’t a thing as much, so we relied on people using Video Cameras! Also Health and Safety wasn’t a thing either … as you will see with @bex_beardo on my shoulders. Also the ‘Old Camp Fire’ was pushing it a little even back then - but i LOVED involving the security team whenever possible, all the teams on Parks pulled together and we are worked to create some wonderful memories, finding these clips and rewatching them was put a massive smile on my face.

Over the next few weeks ive got plenty of show clips for you, including some questionable costumes 😂 but for now, enjoy!

So here is something a little different for 2026 - as this year i celebrate 10 years of Drag, every Tuesday, between now and 14th April (the date i officially became a full time queen) i shall be raiding the Archives of Pre Fanny performance based clips.

1st Jan 2000 is when i did my first ever paid gig as a Vocalist, so its been 26 years on stage for me in one form or another and these clips never got the chance to see the light of day (as social media wasn’t around 🙊😱)

So today - for our first clip, ive gone back to 1995/6, where a 10 year old me, along with 5 others, were asked to help produce a Video of our school to send to the Children of Africa. Its grainy, the hair (yes i had some) and fashion is questionable, but i think at 10 years old i wasn’t half bad. Ive cut out a few buts to make it post-able length wise ….. but you get the idea.

It aired on Network 7, or Diamond Cable and i do remember it being a fun day recording :) so here goes - lets step back 30 years! I hope you enjoy :)

NOW, in trying to surprise my (former) good friend @cameron_vear in Panto, Hull. It slightly back fired. Myself, @19.jay.89 , @jessie_98___ and @emma_emster decided to see Cam in ‘Beauty and the Beast’. We drove up to Hull and rang him from a eatery. He joined us and we had a little catch up before going to watch the show. Cameron has now decided to stitch me up by putting my name forward to help Paul Chuckle in his ‘three bears story’ …. 🙄🙄🙄 yes, i got a pie to the face (Video in the next post)

But that aside, cameron didnt half SHINE, his performance was wonderful, even if a little overacted 😂😂 and even got a glimpse of his singing voice! Well worth the trip. Jay and i both said how lovely it was spending some time with Jess and Emma too - lovely day out :)

Which were both wonderful, the building that houses the fish (the ones with the globes) were like something from Night at the Museum …. I couldnt stop watching the Bats, we didnt even know they were in there - just spotted them by chance
