Boy George was one of the defining faces of 80s pop, with a soulful voice and an unforgettable look. A Boy George tribute is pure colour and nostalgia.
About our Boy George tribute
Our Boy George tribute is performed by Paul Sutton, who has a strong vocal and physical resemblance to Boy George and has worked hard to capture his mannerisms and high, soulful vocal tone.
Formats, sets and timings
Paul Sutton's 'Boy Gorgeous' show is self-contained and can be booked as a Boy George and 80s party set, in 3 x 30, 2 x 45 or 1 x 60-minute formats. The 3 x 30 format is handy for events with lots going on between sets. Two 45-minute sets suit most parties: one after the meal, one later in the evening. A single 60-minute show suits a headline slot or a surprise. Ask about background music between sets.
The songs guests will expect
Expect the Boy George favourites from the 80s:
- Karma Chameleon
- Do You Really Want to Hurt Me
- Church of the Poison Mind
- Time (Clock of the Heart)
- Victims
- Everything I Own
Set lists vary, so ask to see the current one before you book.
What stands out about this show
- Two looks are offered: the 80s braids, hat and bold make-up, or the modern oversized hat and beard.
- His profile stresses audience interaction as much as the vocal.
- The show is pitched at all ages, from 80s revival fans to people who remember it first time round.
The act profile has video and photos.
Space and set-up
The act brings its own sound equipment, so the venue only needs to provide space and power. Allow roughly an hour for set-up, ideally before the room fills.
Where a Boy George tribute works best
- 80s parties: An instant decade headliner.
- 50th and 60th birthdays: Peak nostalgia for guests who were teenagers in 1983.
- Pride events: An iconic performer for a celebratory crowd.
- Club nights: Easy singalongs that suit all ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which look do you want: classic 80s or modern Boy George?
- Should the second set widen out into an 80s party?
- Is there a song you can't do without, or one to avoid?
- Is there a sound limiter, and at what level?
Timing tips
The Boy George set lands best once guests have eaten and the dance floor is open. If there are speeches, run them first so nothing interrupts the show.
