An insane extravaganza of freakish performers took to the stage to prove once and for all Greenwich’s Got No Talent.
From a cross-dressing magician to the Eastern European Igor Pop, there was a slice of madness to suit every taste at the crazy competition’s second heat.
The madcap show sees brave acts battle it out to be crowned the least gifted in Greenwich.
Founder Mark Biddiss, aka judge Simon Foul, told Vibe all about the chaotic heat held on July 1 at The Morden Arms.
He said: “It went great.
“We had quite a few bizarre and very strange sounding acts on again as you would expect.
“We had a special guest judge in the guise of Mini He Simon Foul who put in a brilliant performance whilst facing the wall mostly on his spinning chair (like on The Voice) and he only turned around if the act was really terrible.
“The second half of the show saw the heat really turn up and the pub ended up in a haze of confetti and smoke.
“It looked like a war zone come the end of the show – brilliant.”
The outrageous event saw Eastern European Igor Pop offend the audience so much they pelted him with scrunched up paper.
Mark added: “He was literally smoked off stage (with a smoke machine), causing the whole venue to be in a dense haze of fog and confetti - a truly bizarre sight on its own.
“Acts like the winners Marie Antoincrapp and Prince Harming murdering a Queen classic really had the audience in stitches.
“Lovely and Jason (the doll) performed a couple of tracks from their forthcoming album Morals for Minors which was a collection of songs aimed at children.
“Lovely (aka Sandy) turned up in a baby doll costume and frankly, wowed the audience and also left them all open mouthed and a little shell-shocked.
“She made the semi finals automatically.”
The semi final of the whacky show, which also raises money for Demelza children’s hospice, will be staged in October.
It will feature a seriously hot performance from previous winner Drew Z, famous for snorting chilli powder.
