The Finger in the Pie Cabaret Showcase Extravaganza! Tassel twirling, razor blade swallowing, paranoid poetry or hula hoop stripping – The best in modern variety, burlesque and vaudeville. This is not just Cabaret: This is Finger in the Pie Cabaret.
Compering this month - the sultry and elusive Vixen DeVille is back! Causing both fear and lust in the hearts of men and women alike, we are proud to present this seductive doyenne of debauchery. Vixen will be controlling the proceedings with a silk stocking and an iron will, taking the night in her firm hand and guiding it to its spectacular climax. Those with an impatient temperament can visit www.myspace.com/vixen_deville to see Ms DeVille in action.
As well as two hours of eclectic cabaret the night is sweetened by the delicious tones of the house Jazz band- Pretty Steve and The Hayter – adding a vintage blend of jazz, swing and sultry standards.
HERE’S THE JUNE 3rd LINE-UP:
TAYLOR WILSON
‘The voice to die for’

BOURGEOIS & MAURICE

A playful and dynamic piece of juggling and object manipulation. “Attimi” explores the intimate world of an eccentric character: a chair, a little suitcase, a wheel and his bouncing balls.
LIZ BENTLEY
