MISS Jason, Jennie Castell, Lola Lasagne, JP Christian, Davina Sparkle, Jason Price, Krissie DuCann, and The WestEnders with Jae Alexander will be joined by many surprise guests including Jimmy Trollette, reuniting the original Trollettes for one day, to celebrate the support David Raven has given to Brighton & Hove’s LGBT+ communities and organisations, including the Sussex Beacon which over the years David has personally helped raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for.

To get the fundraising off to a great start, owner of Legends Tony Chapman is making a personal gift of £2,500 to thank David for all his performances to audiences at Revenge and Legends over the last 25 years and all his fundraising for LGBT+ organisations not only in the city but all over the country.

Customers will be asked to dig deep and put money in the buckets which will be donated to the Sussex Beacon.

David said: “I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has organised this fabulous day for me especially all the artists who are appearing. It is wonderful to be surrounded by lovely people not only on stage but also behind the scenes. It means so much to me.”
