Club Tin Tin prides itself on delivering a funked-up crowd gyrating to some seriously sexy beats. This Friday, the club returns taking over the 5th floor of Rise on Leicester Square, featuring stunning views across London, a kickin’ sound system and a new weekly slot. Here’s what some of the hosts had to say about it… and themselves…
1: Kingsley
Tell us about you…
Kingsley, 29, Cancerian, who likes a long walk along the beach and Care Bears. Full time hair stylist and part time DJ/host. I’ve been working on the scene now for 10 years. What turns me on? Music. I love me some good disco, soul and Janet Jackson!
What will your look be on the night?
I seem to be dressing more and more like Lisa Stansfield on her first album cover, so I’m guessing something loosely tailored and acid washed with a few crucifixes!
Tell us something scandalous about one of your co-hosts…
Paul can drop and stitch a weave like a motherfucker. He can also twerk upside down!
What’s the best chat-up line someone’s ever given you?
I can tell you the worst was some leech of a creep coming up to me and going, “Hey, nice height”. Seriously he was like a total Igor with weak fashion sense and thirsty lines!
2: Paul Marcus
Who are you, what do you do and what turns you on?
I’m a club promoter and host. And hairy hunks with tatts!
Why are Friday nights a good idea?
Good way to kickstart the weekend.
What are you looking forward to at the new venue?
To smash the dance floor of course! LOL
3: Smiley Vyrus
Tell us about yourself…
Smiley Vyrus is that girl who forgot her dress and wears a cheap, fabulous, ratty wig.
Describe a night at Club Tin Tin.
Well, obviously it’s the most fabulous night in all the land!
Have you picked out an outfit?
No outfit yet but, slutty heroin chic… Really slutty.
4: Ollywood
Tell us about you…
I’m a 14 year old emo girl trapped in the tattooed body of a 25 year old man.
Have you picked out an outfit for the night?
Well unfortunately, my Dior Couture is at the dry cleaners, so I guess i’ll have to wear my usual vest and cap.
Tell us something scandalous about one of your co-hosts at the club…
Jonny Yihi – too gay to function. Smiley Virus – made out with a hot dog. Kingsley – fugly slut.
5: Johnny Yihi
Tell us who you are, what you do, what turns you on…
Kind, funny, friendly. Love dancing, hip-hop, DJing, fashion, parties and all of them to share with GOOD friends.
Tin Tin has been going from strength-to-strength. What have been some of your favourite moments at the club?
For me, I have met really good people there, who you can trust, and all of them in the London nightlife where, in my opinion, it’s really hard to find it.
Why is the move to a Friday night a good idea?
Weekends always involve more people, and this time it’s moving to Soho area, one of the most popular places in London, so I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing. I can’t wait to be in there, seriously.
• Club Tin Tin is weekly at Rise (1 Leicester Square, WC2H 7NA) from Friday 7th March, 10pm-3am.
