A friend in Thailand is a member of the Friends of The Venue cabaret show and sent me the following facebook message:

The Venue Cabaret & Residence is feeling sad

It is with sadness that we hear today of the passing (in the UK) of long time Pattaya stalwart and supporter of the gay scene here, David Kerridge (aka Miss Kerridge).

David was a great entertainer and starred in some fabulously camp entertainment at many Pattaya Pride events and parties.

Back in June 2019 when David retried back to the UK we were honored and privileged to be asked if The Venue would like his costumes and the 'Golden Oscars'. Thank you David.

Another one of the 'Old School' gone.

RIP David.

I offer my condolences to David's friends and family.

Is this the former owner of the Panorama Bar in Boyzown?

He was certainly the Farang Manager there.
Not sure whether he was an owner or not.

Way before that when Sunee was still Sunee he had a bar next to the White Knight restaurant called La Gage.

Wasn't it La Cage?
After the French title La Cage aux Fôlles.

Great memory!

I was having trouble placing him until you mentioned this.

Another Boyztown/Sunee stalwart gone. more than most of us, his last few months must have been particularly dispiriting; he'd worked hard in a variety of management positions to make the gay scene fun. I particularly liked Oscar's, a well-run bar popular with expats.

David had lost an amazing amount of weight in recent years. He managed Panorama Bar for many years and was always
cheerful and friendly. When Castro took over Panorama, they had different management.
As per Oliver’s post, I don’t believe David was involved with Oscars bar.

David owned My Life bar, later to become Oscar's, with Terry, then with Peter.
