We are a Burlesque performance cooperative based in the glamorous surroundings of .... wait for it.... Grimsby.
We specialise in burlesque nights which offer something truly fabulous and frolicsome for girls and boys of all ages and persuasions, with live rockabilly music,high quality acts from all over the world,tongue-in-cheek performance and an emphasis upon the left field, Rock n' Roll, sexual equality, freedom of expression, respect and empowered female performance.
We are NOT interested in recreating the male dominated environment of the strip/grind/pole dancing club, this is a club night that features performances from clued-up, sassy, sexual women (and men!we don't discriminate!) who aren't afraid to express themselves however and whenever they please.
We pride ourselves on our very high standards - in terms of the actual night we put on, of our EXCEPTIONAL backstage facilities, on our exemplary care of our performers, of our fantastic and highly distinctive venue, and of our hard-earned reputation both on the national burlesque scene and at a local level.
This has enabled us to bring some of the biggest and best names on the British burlesque scene (and beyond!)to little ole' Grimsby!The performers we have had the pleasure of working with include:

-Ophelia Bitz (star of Mika vids and channel 4s Derren Brown show)

and sorry but PLEASE don't contact us to ask if you can photograph our events - we operate a strict no public pic of performers policy (although you are more than welcome to take pics of you and your friends at our events!) as we are more than amply looked after for performer pics by the unbelievably talented Dean Wilkinson and Helen of Metal Monkey.
