THE BURLESQUE STRIP
@The Lounge Secret Garden
China plates, kitsch cakes and burlesque beauties are combined a bunting strewn war-time tea dance extravaganza. Travel back to the 1940s when proper ladies made their own entertainment featuring: burlesque from Lady Lipporella, Mimi Demure, Ryvita Von Cheese, Nelly Plum; escapology from the Incredible Mr Niblo; pole dancing from twistedly elegant yet classically wrong Mr Zapotos Rojos; amazing Leeds based blue band Suffering Succotash and Dj honey dripper will be playing an eclectic mix of 1940-50s tunes. All that over and the Tea ladies will make your dreams come true by serving their very famous tea & cakes. Yes its a total sensual over load!
@Santiago
Gaze in wonder at the beautiful people as the artful prettiness of Coquette leave its hometown of York for one night only and turns Santiago in to a saloon of decadence, excess and eccentricity. Expect mermaids, fairies, vintage glamour and a twist in the tale. Featuring Heather Sweet, Pandora Amour, Jubilee Swoon, Lily De La Mer and more…
@Verve
Little is known of the eccentric and elusive, allegorically reclusive, Lord Linus Twizzle. His Burlesque Cabaret Revue's however, are legendary for their decadence and debauchery. With the finest acts sourced from the farthest reaches and presented with grace and glamour not seen since the good old days of vaudeville. Featuring: Dangerously provocative Lady Lipperella, cheesecake temptress Miss Dani California, sweet yet entrancing Fanny Divine, delightfully drunken ditties from Tedward & Piano, stripped back blues guitar from Tom Attah, dark comedy from The Animals of Butter Bridge and good time rags and reels from Dr Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band.
@Subculture
Submit to your voyeuristic urges as Bella’s bevy of burlesque beauties perform for your pleasure.The legendary Slippery Belle: featuring the delightful Cecilia Rouge, cheeky firecracker Crimson Skye, Queen of cheesecake Anna Fur Laxis, goth princess Cherry Scorn, the unmissable Lola Pops and joining us for one night only with his legendary pain show, London boylesque star Chrisalys! If all that isn’t enough for you classically trained opera singer Meg La Mania’s voice will send shivers up your spine and quite possibly down some other bits too! After performances like that you’ll have no choice but to let yourself get low-down and dirty on the dance floor with Dr Sid. Shake your tail feather to only the most sordid blues, swing and rock & roll. Let your evening of sin climax with extended drinking, dancing and debauchery as Subculture lets you stay up til 5am… Girls tight-lace your corsets and boys strap on your spats for the wildest night of unmissable debauchery Leeds has ever seen.
