The cabaret show at this notorious London club is known as the wildest in town
It has only been open for a fortnight, but The Box cabaret club in London's Soho has established a reputation for being the most raucous show in town. "Do all the drugs you want. Do all the cocaine you can. Answer every fetish," is how, according to a London paper, master of ceremonies Raven O welcomes revellers shortly before the 1am showtime.
For the great and the bad, it's the new place to be seen: Kate Moss, Emma Watson and Prince Harry are among those who have seen the club's explicit two-hour show. A club-goer describes acts involving acrobatics, threesomes, and men dressed as pigs licking food off strippers' stomachs, while a paper has reported a performer, known as "Laqueefa", apparently playing well-known tunes with her genitalia.
If that all sounds completely debauched, it's apparently not as extreme as The Box's sister-club in Manhattan. "London is a little more tame than New York ? but not by much," says someone connected to the club.
Susan Sarandon might agree. Last February, transsexual performer Rose Wood covered the Oscar-winning actor with vomit ? an event presumably all too familiar for singer-songwriter Moby, who was an investor in the club before things got a bit too much. "I like degeneracy," he says, "but for The Box you really need to be in the right frame of mind. The things that go on there don't make sense to me."
Onstage sexual explicitness also descended into alleged backstage sexual harassment. In 2008, two performers known collectively as Twincest brought legal action against the owner of both clubs, Simon Hammerstein, accusing him of pressuring them into a threesome with him. The case never made it to trial, as the trio settled out of court ? and Hammerstein vigorously denies everything. "I would never threaten anyone's job or force anyone to do anything they don't want to do," he says.
