Grayson Perry talk, London Palladium Grayson Perry talk, London Palladium Ella Cory-Wright
Grayson Perry is one of Britain’s most celebrated artists. The Turner Prize winner is known for his sculpture, ceramics and quilt-work, as well as his feminine alter-ego Claire. His practice has long been concerned with what you might call the fabric of society. While variously medieval and classical in form, his tapestries and urns are reflections on the contemporary landscape: a place dotted with billboards, runway models and family dinner tables.


Masculinity is among Perry's enduring preoccupations. As a husband, a father, a straight male and a transvestite, he is well-placed to discuss the boundaries and intricacies of the male role. He argues that the expectations of men and boys exacted by society and the media is as much of a performance act as the traditional demands of femininity. In his recent documentary series All Man, Perry immersed himself in the über-macho worlds of banking, cage-fighting and drug-dealing.


This autumn, Perry comes to the London Palladium with his tour Typical Man in a Dress, where he'll touch on this subject, as well as his forthcoming book The Descent of Man.


Book quick. Appearances from the nation's favourite tranny-potter always sell out fast.

  • The Araki

    The first Japanese restaurant in Britain to be awarded three Michelin stars, The Araki has a simple premise: one menu, eleven courses, all sushi. This is seriously high-end, gourmet stuff and you won't experience anything else like it. The restaurant itself is breathtaking with Edo period-inspired décor and a counter made from a two hundred year-old Japanese cypress.

  • Ember Yard

    Spanish and Italian open wood-fired cooking is the speciality of this lively Soho outpost from the Salt Yard Group. The ibérico presa with whipped jamón butter is a delight, and diners must try one of the smoked cocktails – the negroni is made with smoked ice and garnished with grilled orange, and is so compelling that one is never enough.
