In a one-off summer special, Mysti, Buck & Beau, three of the scene's brightest rising stars have teamed-up to form Of All The Cheek. An evening of spectacular jaw-dropping cabaret which has already been wowing audiences around London. They're all set to continue their collective successes creating an evening of their unique blend of song, dance and comedy rooted in the burlesque, music hall and cabaret tradition at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, one of the original remaining Music Halls in London. Featuring Mysti Vine, "the World's only International Black Burlesque & Variety Striptease Comedienne". She has wiggled & giggled at Cafe De Paris, the Pigalle Club, Duckie & Glass Bar, a host of summer festivals including the past Bestival, Camp Bestival 2008, The Big Chill 2008, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2007, as well as having performed alongside such neo-burlesque legend Dita Von Teese!

Lady Beau is premiering her London show in St-Tropez with a two month summer season at Stefano Forever. Last but not least we have Buck Svizz, a voice as smooth as International Velvet and the Mediterranean looks to match" - Metro, ""...has the style and stage presence, not to mention the talent of a true star" - Urbanscot.

He will be playing playing exhilarating and rousing tunes for the party people. You'll find him regularly pleasing the crowds at Punk, Cafe de Paris, Jerusalem and at his saturday residency in Hoxton's ultra kooky Trafik. Dress for the night!

Hi there, May I firstly thank all of you for your messages offering practical and moral support in the attempt to relaunch the Burlesque and Cabaret Meetup Group. I am pleased to say that one member, May, is very happy for other members to use her existing event as a forum for their performances. She organises the monthly StripLite event at the London Stone pub, which is a pretty amazing basement venue that is full of old medical equipment (and a few skeletons!), located opposite Cannon Street station (http://www.myspace. Each edition of StripLite has a theme, and this one is particularly interesting – ‘Dictators I have loved’. The concept is that performers and audience members dress accordingly. So this is your chance to become Hitler, Himmler, Tito, Castro, Eva Braun or maybe even Imelda Marcos! Other themes for the year are on their website. All Meetup Group Members get in for a reduced rate of £4, for this night of burlesque, performance, films, music and free cupcakes. To ensure you receive this reduction, please RSVP on the Burlesque and Cabaret Meetup Group website. Anyone who wants to perform at this or a future event should contact myself by 24 January on neilwatson7@hotmail. StripLite is described as an intimate venue with a friendly crowd and is developing a reputation as a monthly meeting place for the alternative community. It is a great place for new performers to debut and for existing performers to try out new acts in front of a sympathetic and appreciative crowd. Best wishes from Neil |

Hi everyone, In recent times the Bethnal Green Workingmen’s Club has become something of a hub for retro-styled entertainments of all descriptions. OK, so it’s not quite straight-ahead burlesque, but they have been known to include some excellent burlesque performers on the bill. On Saturday they are holding the monthly ‘Cream Review’, described as a ‘very special evening of creamy fun and frolics, Get messy to the swing, jive, classic jazz and Latin sounds.’ This is your chance to don your favourite ‘utility’ gear and bop around to everything from Johnnie Ray to Tito Puente! Delights include some variety acts and free tea and cakes served by the Tea Monitor Girls. I will be outside at 8.30pm, so please RSVP and I will meet you there. Best wishes from Neil |
