About Me

Wild Card Kitty is an individual and original performer: Betty Grable, Lana Turner and Lucille Ball combine in this eclectic Pin-up Bombshell making her one of the most exciting and innovative performers around. She transforms from sultry screen siren to film comedienne before your very eyes with a cheeky wink and a charismatic smile. A firm favourite back home in Scotland where she's graced the cover of The List magazine; she’s has also charmed audiences internationally, wowing the crowds in much lauded appearances in Las Vegas at Miss Exotic World; Burlesque Hall of Fame weekends in 2008 & 2009, many guest appearances in New York and performing at the opening party for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2008 at the World Famous Spiegeltent. One of the Burlesque scene's cutest kittens and most versatile of vixens, it's only a matter of time before Wild Card Kitty captivates you too!
 
Kitty has been charming audiences and club goers since 2003 as one of Scotland's longest running Showgirls with the UK's longest running vintage club; Vegas! (12 yearsin October ) a club that takes place all over the UK and evokes the Rat Pack ethos of Las Vegas with a kitsch lougerati edge.
 
A talented Actress and Model, she is currently starring in 2 short films and a feature being released onto the Film Festival circuit, one of which she was written by herself! Having previously modelled for Stolen Model Agency in Scotland, she is also a model for Retro lingerie company; Cameo Intimates.
