Talk of the Town
« on: October 16, 2011, 05:36:20 AM »
I've seen the billboards for this and always thought it would be very tacky and amateur. Was persuaded it was good & that we should go and so glad we did.
Fantastic performers put their all into it for over 2 hours. Great costumes, music & humour.
And piping hot chicken & chips!
Next week is the last weekend and will feature the 'best of' the season.
If you haven't been & have the chance go, do it!

No thanks !!  I will pass on that one. I was told , and its believable, that in recent years,  so many establishments around Hisaronu pushed and plugged and promoted `The Talk of the Town` as a `must see` show.... and part of  the plan was to kill off the interest in the`turkish evening` show over in Kaya village.  Sadly it worked... everyone wanted to see `Blackpool like drag acts` instead of the very entertaining `turkish theme night shows` over in Kaya. Talk of the Town won eventually :(... and the premises of the Turkish night in Kaya is now derelict :(
Another backward step for the area..  very little `turkish` left around Hisaronu now :(

What a load of old tosh, if it closed down its because not enough people were interested in it.
Talk of the Town is a great show to go and see and have a great fun night out.

There was very little "turkish" in Hisaronu long before Talk of the Town was ever there.

I never saw an advert for a Turkish night in Kaya so perhaps the lack of advertising had something to do with it's demise?
Talk of the town show is an enjoyable and fun night out and I would recommend it.

We went to the Turkish night in Kaya years ago and there were no premises. It was held out of doors and was very good but a completely different type of entertainment to the Talk of the Town. It was never advertised very much. It seems unfair to accuse a drag act of spoiling a Turkish night as they are such different types of entertainment.

I used to stay in Kaya every year and the Turkish night used to offend many locals because it was so incredibly noisy.
Maybe that's why it closed.

We go every year and take either our family or friends.  We all love it and its such good value, where can you get transport, a show and food for £20.  Thats not to say we dont support traditional turkish entertainment but hey ho variety is the spice of life.
