Usually housed at the Southbank Centre with DJs and live entertainment, Polari returns to Soho, following last year’s brilliant performance. Described by the New York Times as ‘London’s most theatrical salon’ and by the Independent as ‘London’s peerless gay literary salon’, Polari – founded by author and journalist Paul Burston – began life in 2007. Howls of laughter could be heard from the auditorium during the Polari Salon last year and we expect nothing less this year.
