🗳️😵💫 Backroom politics, hare-brained voting systems, and the UK represented by a horde of lacklustre simpletons - no, we’re not talking about the Houses of Parliament 🦉 we’re talking about Eurovision! 📺🇦🇩
The Eurovision Song Contest was established in 1957 by the Treaty of Rome 🧁 But its roots go all the way back to World War I, when on a cold winter’s night 🐻❄️ opposing troops briefly laid down their weapons and entertained each other from across the trenches with contemporary hits such as “What a lovely bunch of turnips!”, “Imagine me, imagine you, Maginot” and “Party Mega Mix ’17.” 🍹
📜 Sadly, Eurovision has not been held since 1993 after it was mislaid by a Hungarian diplomat when out walking his dog 🦴 With this month’s edition of LIPPY 💄 we hope to resurrect the magic of this lost contest and the core values that it stood for: commercial pop, the nation state, and Graham Norton being sassy 💁 So dust down that giant hamster wheel, don your monster mask and get ready to lipsync your skirt off at The Castle Pub on Friday, 29 April! If you’re having trouble making your mind up – just select the option to buy an audience ticket 🤩

How does LIPPY work?
- 👯👭👬 LIPPY is about audience participation! Members of the audience are invited but not compelled to sync their lips off to a choon of their choosing.
- There are 2 types of ticket, which are only available in advance:
- “I want to lipsync!” (Free)
- "I'm just here to whoop and cheer" 👏 (£5)
- If you get a lipsyncing ticket, your host Pieter will get in touch to find out what song you're doing. And if you're on the fence about lipsyncing, you can get a paid ticket and just decide on the night
- 💃Optional dresscode: EUROVISION 👓📺🇪🇺
##Unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access to the venue.
