As Smalltown and Dullbridge get ready for the first ever Pride – a Really Unique Diverse Event (PRUDE) taking place this weekend, SomersetClive took the opportunity to catch up with the organisers for a quick chat about what we can expect on the day.
Strewth AckringtonStanley said “Couldn’t you have asked this last week? I’m really busy today and I don’t really have time to stop and answer stupid questions.”
“Drag queens, music, drag queens, poets, drag queens. What more do you need to know. It’s going to be fabulous, darling. Now run along, sweetie, I’m busy.” Sandy Furland said.
Smalltown Cheese Festival organiser, Margot Farmhouse-Kitchener said “I’m not too sure to be honest. My involvement was strictly advice on running an event and bringing in the Cheese retailers.”
Fryer Homily-Chef said “Have you sponsored one of our giant Cluedo pieces yet? Plenty of local businesses have, but Miss Scarlett in the Dining Room with the cheese grater are all still available.” As the SomersetClive entertainment budget is strictly for the use of our Editor, Clive Saint, we had to decline her kind offer.
Finally we spoke to Flora Chamberpot who was a little bit more helpful “PRUDE? It’s all about the flags really isn’t it? And glitter. Lots of glitter. Flags and glitter. That’s what prople can expect. Lots and lots of glitter and flags. More flags and more glitter than you can wave a flag at.“
Why is PRUDE in July, instead of the Pride month of June? What a silly question. It’s Smalltown. The place is always behind the times, why would you expect anything different? You’re lucky it’s taking place in 2023 and not 2063.”
We asked if CEO, Founder and the one-person committee of Smalltown Pride – a Unique New Concept (SPUNC) which failed to get off the ground last year, Levi Smeller, now CEO, Founder and one-person committee at Let’s Talk Total B*llocks would be taking to the stage as a guest speaker and were given an emphatic “No” by way of reply.
