Her Upstairs, Camden, London (with Dr J)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties - Ein Podcast von lost queer spaces - Mittwochs
Her Upstairs was a kitschy drag and cabaret bar in Camden, London, which opened shortly after another nearby bar, the iconic Black Cap, closed in 2015, and filled a much needed gap for local queers. Though the bar was only open for two years, there was an uproar in the community when it abruptly closed in 2018. I caught up with the self-proclaimed #queernuisance Dr J to talk about what the venue meant for them during a very tumultuous period of their life. Expect lots of chat about drag, language, and how popping candy can be used to spice up your sex life!
