Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Does Oxjam

On October the 16th, Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Does Oxjam at West Street Live, Sheffield, UK.

Flyer Designed by John Slater, featuring Deadly Nightshade.


This year, Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque has decided to become involved with Oxjam - Britain's largest music festival which aims to provide money for Oxfam. SotBB wants to bring lashings of burlesque into Oxjam and will be providing an event filled with just that, plus, plenty of cabaret, as well as the usual mix of striptease, vaudeville, comedy and dance.

Starring:

Tiffany Beau,

Von Vamp,

Foxie Le Roc,

Cadillac Arrest,

Lacie May,

Danni La Blue,

Deadly Nightshade,

Sian De Leir,

Depravity Jane

With Cabaret from:

Lady Ella,

Miss Moonlight,

Evie Farrah and Cassie Devine,

Mistress Mimi

and

Knickerbockerglory.


Compered by the delicious, Duke O'GGGGGGrowl.


It seems fitting to raise money for a charity which began in 1942 to provide relief for World War 2 civilians, and is currently helping to empower women in impoverished countries. To us, these two things are what burlesque is all about - era's gone by - especially post-wartime 1940's/50's, and the empowerment and liberation of women.

We just had to get involved!

With a record number of SotBB performers, and burlesque starlets from all across the country gracing our stage, our Oxjam event promises to be our biggest yet.

With vintage stalls, our BIGGEST EVER RAFFLE, and a prize for the best dressed guest, why not dress as glamorously as you possibly can and come along to help raise plenty of money for Oxfam?


Admission can be purchased at £6 from Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque, or at £8 on the door.


Sunday the 16th of October 2011. 7.00pm - Midnight.


West Street Live,

128 West Street,

Sheffield,

S1 4ES.

Please note: Tickets WILL NOT be posted out to you before the show, instead your name will be added to a guest list and you will be stamped into our venue upon arrival at our show.

Boylesque Comes to Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque!

Ladies and gentlemen,

We will be showcasing our FIST EVER BOYLESQUE ACT this Sunday (the 5th of June) at Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Does Musicals!  The quirky Mr. Doc Le Roc will be landing 'Flash, Bang Wallop' onto our stage as he pays tribute to the musical 'Half A Sixpence' in an act especially designed for Secrets.  He will later then evolve into 'The Phantom of the Opera' and hold us all captive under his cloak with a cheeky wink and a satirical smile!


From Hull, UK, Doc began performing in October 2010 as a favour to a friend, he was asked to compare a burlesque show in his hometown and decided to throw some boylesque in there for good measure too!  He hasn't looked back since and loves performing everywhere and anywhere he can!

Doc takes a tongue in cheek approach to burlesque, he likes to throw in plenty of entertainment, amusement and comedy and says we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously when performing.  During our show on Sunday he will be performing a theatrical piece and a high energy striptease and we simply just can't wait!


We asked Doc what he was looking forward to the most about performing at SotBB on Sunday and he said,


"Trying something a little different.  I'm using more props and doing less striptease with my new routine (Half 
A Sixpence), so it's something new for me".


And what is Doc's favourite musical?


"I'm a Rocky Horror kind of guy" he replies.


See Doc and many more fabulous performers pay tribute to the musicals this Sunday at Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque, West Street Live, Sheffield.  To find out more, or to purchase admission at only £6 per person, please visit www.secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com.


Much love,
