Martini Lounge Burlesque and Variety Show will return to the Epstein Theatre this June for their sizzling summer show; and they promise this is going to be their sauciest show yet! With the April Spring Showcase a raging success, Millie, Fred Bear and the Martini Lounge team have been busy putting together a diverse line up consisting of some of the most exciting burlesque and variety performers around in order to make Saturday 22nd June the hottest night on record!
With the award for “Best Burlesque Act” at the London Cabaret Awards 2013 under her belt, the beautiful Laurie Hagen is at the top of her game and ready to wow the crowd at the Epstein Theatre with her dazzling show. With the fabulous Dusty Limits as her mentor from an early age, this burlesque diva and actress from Brussels was one of Miss Polly Rae’s original Hurly Burly Girls and is set to astound the Epstein audiences with unrivalled, cheeky panache and her highly charged antics.
Back by popular demand, the endearingly silly Velma Von Bon Bon makes a welcome return to the Martini Lounge stage. Since this peeling perfectionist made her memorable debut at the Martini Lounge she has set tongues wagging all over the U.K. with her hilarious and seductive routines and wide range of characters; all of which have made her the talk of the burlesque scene. With an organ grinder’s monkey and Scooby Doo amongst her repertoire this is a very special showcase which will see Velma’s alter ego Natasha, bring her brand-spanking new aerial act to the Epstein for the very first time. This is one act which has to be seen to be believed!
Also back in town is that gorgeous Glaswegian Beau Rocks, a lady who combines vintage 60s glamour with a heart-warming pinch of girl next door calamity… but don’t let her angelic features fool you as she has been known to make both men and women blush with a well-timed wink and bump of her hip! We are excited to announce that Tricity Vogue will be in action, adding her charming offbeat musical cabaret to the evening’s festivities with her unique catalogue of surprising tunes and colourful history of romantic misadventures; all brought together with a sprinkling of her own brand of “cheeky jazz”.
The ever impish Fred Bear is once again the evening’s host and promises to keep the audience in check whilst entertaining with his witty banter and rib-tickling brand of humour and as always Liverpool’s leading Burlesque star Miss Millie Dollar is back in town. Having effortlessly enchanted audiences internationally with her own famous routines, Millie can perform anything from traditional burlesque to the raunchy bump and grind popularised in the 50’s and usually mixes the two.
Unanimously regarded as the must-see Burlesque and Variety show in the U.K., The Martini Lounge honours the satire and performance art that evolved since Burlesque’s 19th Century beginnings. The audience is invited to enjoy heart-pounding performances of glitz and glamour from a by-gone age and a stylish and enchanting night of variety entertainment.
