Thai transvestites

The number one nightclub in Thailand - The Mambo Club - is home to the Lady Boys of Bangkok

The number one nightclub in Thailand - The Mambo Club - is home to the Lady Boys of Bangkok. Their, their nightly show has thrilled thousands over the years. A group of all-singing, all-dancing transvestites, the Lady Boys toured the Far East before hitting the Edinburgh Fringe Festival three years back. Such was their success there that they transferred to a long run in the West End. Combining traditional Thai music with up-to-the-minute choices from the hit parade, the Lady Boys present the sort of musical spectacular that shouldn't be missed. They're at the Tivoli Theatre, Dublin from next Thursday for three weeks.
