ReplyDeleteThe Wild Goose ... The official was "The Wild Goose Cabaret Club". Located on Conant in Detroit, around the corner from Gold Coast, between 7 Mile & 8 Mile.
ReplyDeleteThe managing partner was Eddie Wheatly. Eddie was one in a million and truly cared about his customers! Once I stumbled on this place, it became my all time favorite spot and the only gay club I'd visit. They served full course dinners from 4-8 or 5-8 and their shows started at 9pm. They have been closed like 10 years and I would like to know what happened to Eddie.
His main bartender was Brandon. He lived in Ferndale off 9 Mile. Him and I lost contact over the years as did Eddie and I.
If anyone has any info on Eddie, let me know as I would really like to see them again.
Eddie eventually went to work as a waiter at Como's in Ferndale after the Goose closed. We'd see him out and around but eventually he disappeared. I'm not sure what happened to him after that. I had such a crush on the mustachioed DJ he had playing there
ReplyDeletethey had some EXCELLENT male dancers. It was a fun place and I went there almost every weekend.

I remember Bea Arthur in the Golden Girl days doing a play in Detroit and coming to The Wild Goose ( it's a photo of this out there somewhere) . She said she has a great time .
ReplyDeleteYes I was there the night Bea Arthur was there, and I think Joy and Joe Bologna were with her that night.
