Lily Savage Live from the Hackney Empire
Lily Savage Live from the Hackney Empire is one of the most talked-about Comedy movies released in 1991, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
This made-for-TV film, was Lily Savage's first foray into the world of video. Although the working-class, Birkenhead born tart-with-a-heart had already appeared on television briefly (on Jonathan Ross' chat show, and the news footage of the 'Poll Tax Riots', if we can believe her!), Lily, alas Paul O'Grady in drag, hadn't yet hit the mainstream of things, and was still largely confined to the clubs, so this venue was one of their first big engagements.
