A special variety show is to be held in Brighton on **Saturday, December 30** as a tribute to the wonderful **Paul O’Grady** who sadly passed away this year aged 67.

Organisers of the event, which will raise funds for local HIV charity **Sussex Beacon**, said: “Paul always had a close connection to Brighton, whether through charitable work with the Sussex Beacon or his friendships with many iconic drag performers like **Dave Lynn**. Therefore, it only seems fitting that we pay tribute to this much loved and missed entertainer in true Brighton style.

“Starring Paul O’Grady’s friends and co-stars, theatre producer **David Hill** has put together the biggest variety show of 2023\. ***For The Love of Paul*** will be a night of comedy, musical tributes, a star-studded drag queen pageant and more.

“The show has the full blessing of Paul’s husband **Andre Portasio**, and management. All profits of the show will be donated to the Sussex Beacon, providing care and support to people living with HIV/AIDS.”

The Sussex Beacon added: “We’re honoured that profits from the show will be donated to [The Sussex Beacon](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2858679820864328/user/100069197816857/?%5F%5Fcft%5F%5F[0]=AZVD4Vh43RbhRHxAwyCRkihFAA9KfsgNwP40WwW6HMP5X7dujG5rgJ1onOAqfTAna5GA%5FoS%5FJF9sWQTb8oNOS6tl5kzQWwou6rQ3ICDwhr26LwwIAosbEbP2KAXrw7e-73Z805%5FdwqeThrSztUbIkP4FYKOcHqTeQIQu4aGt3KfEWA&%5F%5Ftn%5F%5F=-]K-y-R). Our heartfelt thanks to Andre Portasio and **E3** for their amazing support.”
