Hosts : Ollie O´Donnell, Chris Sullivan
Reletlessly trendy duo with peerless club record : St. Moritz, Le Kilt, Beat Route Fridays and now the dazzlingly refubished, onetime Whisky a´ Go Go,.
Part-time crimper O´Donnell once said : `The wind-up is the supreme art - it´s the one form of expression I´m any good at´. Sullivan crammed at the St. Martin´s and Blitz Schools of Ironic Stance and is credited with the New Romantics´maxim. ´One look lasts a day´. An immensely versatile Leonardo for the Eighties, he invented Cubism two minutes ago and zoot-suits last Thursday week. Variety will say : ´The Wag decor looks like Blue Rondo´s music sounds.´

SALES PITCH : ´The Wag is a painted pavilion. Other clubs use lights, we´re using the walls to disorinetate and amuse. We´d like people to come in with a sense of beano and to leave with hangovers and blisters on the feet´
RIVAL´S VIEW : ´No way do you get in without knowing a cousing of a pop-star´
