Come and see how Burlesque and Cabaret should look!" ** The Velvet Burlesque present: "Cabaret Gothique" ** Saturday 26th October 2013 Showtime: 8pm till 11.30pm (Doors open at 7pm ... Bar will remain open until Midnight) The Library Theatre Surrey Street Sheffield S1 1XZ Tickets/admission: £17.50* All tickets on sale via The Velvet Burlesque (http://www.velvetburlesque.co.uk/id5.htm) An EXTRAVAGANZA of fabulous Burlesque & Vaudeville style Cabaret & Variety acts featuring a super-suave Host, Guest Performers displaying tantalising Burlesque and Cabaret Dance routines, Buxom Beauties, "Boylesque", and a fair few surprises ... expect nothing less than pure entertainment! We are also showcasing troupe performances by members of the "Velvet Burlesque" and the all-new "Yorkshire Puddings" dance classes! Presented in a beautiful Theatre venue, let us welcome you into an exciting, glamorous atmosphere for a night of unique variety entertainment! All guests welcome! Please dress to impress - a chance to wear your finery, flash your gems! Performers include: * Johnny Macaulay Back by popular demand! We are very pleased to welcome back the madcap Johnny Macaulay (Eluxifer) as Compere and performer for another action-packed show here in Sheffield. He wooed and wowed our audience of Hallowe`en 2012 with his fabulously feisty (and downright funky) character "Tony Garrulo" ... just wait to see who he`ll bring this year! A hilarious, charming performer who is bound to make you howl with laughter and applause! "A marvelous routine, a brilliant magician" - Nicholas Parsons * Abigail Collins (Back yet again by popular demand!) A Velvet Burlesque favourite! After expelling herself from The Royal Ballet School, pint-sized comedy powerhouse Abigail Collins has become one of the leading lights on the London Cabaret circuit. Whether dancing Swan Lake on traffic cones as her Russian diva Katinka, or hooping up a storm as Angel Rodriguez, Brooklyn's answer to Beyoncé, Abigail's work is skillful, sexy and very, very silly. The physique of an athlete and the mouth of Joan Rivers - what's not to love?! "The hilarious and flexible Abi Collins" - The Stage "Hilariously executed routines... see her" - Film News UK "Beat-perfect comic delivery" - The Erotic Review *Frankie Lynn Another of our favourite performers, back by popular demand! Eclectically elegant, a bazaar of colourful caricatures and a masquerade of mischief. Waiting in the wings, captivating choreography playful to perform ... Ladies and Gentlemen ... introducing Frankie Lynn - your deliciously dark Vixen of Vaudevillian Vogue. Frankie Lynn last graced our stage in February 2012 - this lively little dynamo will leave you breathless just watching! * The Velvet Burlesque Showcasing fabulously choreographed semi-pro and pro-troupe performances by a bevy of buxom beauties from the "Velvet Burlesque" dance classes. Like what you see? This could be YOU onstage at one of our later dates! Come along and join our Burlesque & Cabaret Dance classes, and you`ll soon be shimmying, bumping, and grinding along with the best! "Real women, with real curves!" - Mister Meredith * Miss Betty Blue Eyes The Burlesque Artiste who possesses an unusual recipe for performance evoking the cheeky charm and glamour of a Gil Elvgren pin up, mixed in with a few 40's trimmings and often sprinkled with the comedy antics of a "Carry On" film. Having trained as an actress at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and performed in Theatre for many years, her Burlesque style is reminiscent of the Vaudeville tradition of the Theatrical Burlesque act and has strong elements of character, storytelling, comedy and pockets of surprises! Her tongue in cheek style is sure to guarantee delight and bring a smile to every audience. From elegant glamour to the down right ridiculous Betty has a guise for any occasion. " She is possessed of great taste, expressiveness & imagination, with the moves to boot. 10 out of 10 cats prefer her. May she set your hearts to swoon!" - Dan Lambert, Johnny Cage and the Voodoo Groove * Hells Belle Founder and Choreographer of The Velvet Burlesque A mysteriously formidable Amazonian Goddess, with fiery arrogance, wit, intelligence, and style. An intriguing experience, not for the faint of heart! An established, qualified, and respected Dance & Fitness Teacher, Personal Trainer, Performer & Choreographer, with an excellent reputation in her field of business since 1991. Hells Belle is a popular face on the UK Burlesque and Cabaret scene, as both a promoter and performer, and is fulfilling a lifelong ambition to bring back the "good old days" of excellent quality Music Hall, Theatre, Cabaret, and Variety Show splendour to audiences far and wide. "An hourglass figure, with the sand in all the right places" - Mister Meredith "Hells Belle ... the fastest tassels in the North!" - Feline Productions * The Yorkshire Puddings Showcasing fabulously choreographed semi-pro and pro-troupe performances by a bevy of bountiful, buxom beauties originating from the "Velvet Burlesque" dance classes. Curvier/Plus Performers, with a bit more curve to their swerve, a bit more jiggle to their wiggle, and more bounce to the ounce! Like what you see? This could be YOU onstage at one of our later dates! Come along and join our Burlesque & Cabaret Dance classes, and you`ll soon be shimmying, bumping, and grinding along with the best!
