Poise! Personality! Originality! Is the judging criteria for Alternative Miss World, “Beauty has nothing to do with!” Andrew Logan.

In The Grand Podcast 'In Conversation With Special' Ally Wolf Interviews Andrew Logan, creator of The Alternation Miss World in 1972, held at The Grand in 1995, and returning to The Globe for it’s 50th year in 2022.

"Part of my enormous love for The Grand comes from it’s amazingly varied history, from a Variety Hall to a Theatre, Cinema to a Bingo Hall, Nightclub and Live Venue to our own creation of it as a Palace Of Modern Variety today. Digging through our past and finding out more is a never ending fantastical journey, so when our very own Jack Cullen discovered we hosted The Alternative Miss World it filled my heart with joy!”

“This event more than any other I’ve discovered in our past joined so many dots for me connecting our history with what we do today. Not only that but’s also been a huge influence on nightlife culture UK & world wide - paving a way for a more inclusive society with a message which still rings true & needs re-enforcing today. It was an honour to be able to discuss all this and much more with Andrew in this hour special of The Grand Podcast." 

PS - I really missed Max & Claire though, don't worry, Macca's not gone and left The Beatles, they will be back next week with all your favourite nonsense!
