May 13, 2010

Everyone loves a bit of Steampunk, right?  Or so it seems these days what with every bit of technology and clothing having, seemingly, a Steampunk equivalent or adjunct made of shiny brassy retro clockwork stuff.  Want to find out more about how all this Steampunkery looks and works?  There’s a good option coming up later this year, and it doesn’t require you to show up looking like some kind of Victoriana meets Metropolis character:  the Clockwork Butterfly show. Deets below and more to come on their website:

Sunday 31 May


MZ JOSEPHINE’S CABARET FANTASTIQUE starring MZ JOSEPHINE, NANA DORIS, WILLOW LA CHATTE, SPARKARELLA, THE EVIL TWINS,  DAVE EVANS, JOHN O’HAGAN & THE KAHUNA DADDIES


Mz Josephine’s Uber  Productions presents, an ebullient evening of burlesque, comedy, music, dance, performance and variety cabaret. Join Mz Jo’s disparate ensemble of artful entertainers, for a funky evening of very low brow and high brow acts of surprise and wonder. Guaranteed to raise your eyebrows if not your shirts, engage your nipples and simultaneously stimulate your immune system. Sassy Songs, Saucy Girls, and one grossly disinhibited Nana let lose on the kindness of strangers.

The startling Nana Doris leads the cast, armed with only a pink satin glove, lubricant and her handbag of engaging funnies – adventure before dementure is this old gal’s motto. The elegant Mz Josephine and her tight two piece Dave Evans and John O’Hagan swing into tangos, jazz, blues and cabaret tunes with panache The winsome Willow La Chatte,  Mistress  of Bottoms Up Burlesque entertains with her fabulous Two Faces Striptease. Sparkarella Circus Pole Diva gets everyone into a fever with her spectacularly sexy acrobatic pole display. The exotic lounge sounds of The Kahuna Daddies recreate the novelty and romance of Tiki club music; for your dancing pleasure. The Evil Twins  tightly monitor the crowd, conducting statistical Stasi spy games that can only result in an uproar of protest and a playful invasion of  personal boundaries. Have your papers ready! Doors 7.30pm.
