Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Burlesque

On Saturday I had the pleasure of going back to the wonderful Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Burlesque in Lichfield.

This show is super fun, not only because of the enthusiastic crowd but also the fabulous team behind it. The amount of effort they put into each event is truly inspiring. Saturday's "Chariots of Fire" olympics themed show started off with a hilarious Rocky homage video starring KKBB's compere Stage Door Johnny. And thanks to him I still have the song "Gold" stuck in my head!

I was on the bill with Fanny Divine, Barbara Nice and KKBB's own Sherry Trifle so it was a lot of fun backstage, if a little hot and sticky thanks to the heatwave we've been enjoying lately. And look what was waiting for each of us in the dressing room when we arrived!

Here's me and Fanny Divine trying not to melt out of our corsets backstage.

Here's another backstage shot when I was all boxed up for my new act "The Present". So many sequins!

The show was fantastic and it was great to see the debut of Sherry Trifle's new act, with another stunning costume from the same designer who made her Judderman. I'll post pictures from the show as soon as they're ready.

After the burlesque part of the evening was over the resident band Johnny and the Speedos kicked off their set, playing rock and roll covers from the 50s and everyone got up for a dance until it was time to go home.

The Missy Malone & Friends Burlesque Revue

So yesterday I took a little road trip to perform for Missy Malone's Burlesque Revue, currently travelling the UK, and last night taking up residence at the Blackfriars Theatre in Boston, Linconshire. After the fantastic time I had doing Missy's show in Milford Haven in March I'd been really looking forward to this one, especially as I had a new act to perform!

On the way I stopped in Nottingham to pick up one of the other performers, the ever so lovely Dita tribute Carrie-Ann and we chatted our way through the rest of the journey, enjoying the rare sunshine (while I tried desperately not to end up with a truckers tan on my right arm!)

It was a wonderful evening spent with great friends, the rest of the line up being Fanny Divine, Em Brulee, Carrie-Ann, Snappy O'Shea and of course Missy herself. The backstage atmosphere was hilarious and we spent most of the evening discussing things far too saucy and embarrassing to write here  ;)

The crowd were brilliantly enthusiastic, just the way we like them! Here's a few pics from the night to show you what we got up to.

So that was my Saturday night! Today I dragged myself out of bed at an ungodly hour (anything before 9am is ungodly) and headed into Derby to trawl an antiques fair at The Roundhouse, but I'll save that for tomorrow.

Nighty night!
