This month's show is once again full to the brim with the best burlesque, cabaret & comedy talent London has to offer! Fresh & exciting...not the same ol', same ol' song & dance of other overpriced shows! Your hostess with certainly the mostess, back from her own successful revue in Oxford is debutante, showgirl, liability.... * TEMPEST ROSE! --- She is most accomplished in the lady-like pastimes of singing, poetry, ballet and needle point. She is also highly accomplished in the not-so lady-like arts of soul-singing, tease, espionage, assassination, drinking, hustling and is well aware of what the butler saw (she'll deal with him later)! ---- 'Gratuitous show-stealer Tempest Rose, a burlesque performer with devilish charms...' Time Out 2009 Featuring : * KIKI KABOOM --- Kiki Kaboom EXPLODED onto the Burlesque scene in late 2007. Twice a finalist at the Tournament of Tease, coming overall 2nd in both 2007 and 2008, she feared she may always be the burlesque bridesmaid, and never the bride... But finally, in April this year, she was crowned BEST NEWCOMER 2009 at the LONDON BURLESQUE FESTIVAL! She is a cheeky, charming striptease starlet, with a thoroughly irreverent approach and a wicked sense of humour. Oozing SASS, SAUCINESS and SEX APPEAL, she will make your little heart go boom boom BOOM! * BELLA DE JAC --- A deadly dealer, showgirl minx and a lady, Bella de Jac is an international teaseur who draws on the spirit of every femme fatale from Mata Hari to Marilyn. She began her career in performance art in a hot and dusty colonial institute in Australia, training in dance, film, theatre and singing. Bella moved onto greener pastures, without forgetting her roots, docking in mother England. Deadly Bella will turn your world upside down, but you will most definitely prefer it that way! http://www.belladejac.com * VIOLET CRUMBLE --- The burlesque sweetie from Australia whose infamous tassel twirling really is a force of nature! She's the sweetest thing to come out of Australia since Tim Tams! * MISS ENVY GREENE --- Born of a banshee and a leprechaun, this beautiful Celtic pin-up model literally exploded onto the burlesque scene with her "Teddy Bears' Picnic" routine, winning her heat in Whoopee's Tournament of Tease. Since that breathtaking victory, there has been no stopping this madcap gal as she dazzles audiences everywhere with her unique and refreshing take on the art of burlesque. * BANBURY CROSS --- Riding a cock-horse is not the only talent of Miss Banbury Cross! Performing en Pointe, Banbury pays homage to the greats of Burlesque, with classical dancing, serpentine and striptease, finishing with her trademark seductive champagne finale. She is a true vintage beauty, with an impressive 15 inch corseted waist and a figure that will make any man weak at the knees. * VJ SPANKIE --- Ms.Spankie is one of the UK's newest burlesque sensations. She flung herself onto the scene in a torrent of satin and sparkles in November 2008 and has not looked back since. She recently won the Tournament of Tease March '09 heat at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club performing her "Poison" act - her deadliest routine so far - involving chains, canes, black lace and of course poison!! Trained as a ballet dancer VJ knows all too well about the importance of grace and decorum but instead of tucking in her boobs and bum and looking angelic she chooses to shove it all out and give it a good old shake! * HONEY WILDE --- She’s been gracing burlesque stages for less than a year but has already teased and tickled audiences at Scala for the London Burlesque Festival and Volupte Lounge for Time for Tease. Unafraid of burlesquing love, religion, political icons and even the British themselves, stages everywhere will never be safe again...! * MISTY MOONE --- An international dancer, previous student at 'The Cheek of It' and recent performer at the 2009 London Burlesque Newcomer Festival, Misty would like you to 'step into her office' where the heat will be rising, as will her hemline. Come and see the 'Mist' unveiled at this solo debut performance.. and as for the 'Moone' well, you'll just have to wait and see! * BETSY BOUDOIR --- Another fresh talent...and dare I say rather hot MILF! Formerly one of Zoe Charles 'Cheek of It Showgirls 2009', The Glitter Room will mark her first solo performance. I'm sure she'll be gentle with you!! * DELILAH D'LUSH --- She's completely 'Crazy In Love' & really wants to tell you ALL about it. Trust me, you'll never view Beyonce in the same light again.....! + Stand-up comedy from the one, the only.... * DORIAN CROOK ---- "As British as a bus queue" -- that's our Dorian. But don't be fooled - he has a fiendishly dark side. The quintessential retro comic with bookish eccentricity and classic patter, Dorian is your cad . As a comedian, actor and all round raconteur, Dorian is favoured by the showbiz world itself! http://doriancrook.com/ ------------------------------------------ With the finest rockin' vintage sounds courtesy of... * DJ $UAVE, London's Gentleman of Rock'n'Roll & his drinking buddy & friend in low places... * MAJIK SAM ------------------------------------------ Weirdy swirly hippie lighting effects by John The Hobbit a.k.a.
