Sorting the women from the Lady Boys

Some of the most beautiful but sexually confusing performers in the world will be arriving in Yarmouth at the end of the month.

And the appearance of the All Male Thai cabaret show - the Lady Boys of Bangkok - at the Hippodorme Circus has already caused a storm.

Female staff at the Hippodrome are so concerned that their natural feminine wiles may be confused with the 16 female impersonators they have threatened to walk out.



The handful of women employees had demanded that they should be allowed to wear “I am not a lady boy” T-shirts to prove to showgoers that they are all woman.

Hippodrome owner Peter Jay has now caved in to the gender identification rebellion and has allowed his staff to wear badges pointing out they are not part of the show and are 100 pc female.

Ruth Patterson, 30, and who has worked at the Hippodrome for five years, said: “The Lady Boys maybe very, very attractive but I don't want people to confuse me for one of them. I certainly don't want people in Yarmouth asking me if I'm a Lady Boy - although I am jealous of their fabulous figures.”
