First to take the stage was Rosie May Riot, a burlesque performer who dresses in the vintage style of the 1940’s and 1950’s and who this evening performed 2 songs, the first was Pulp’s ‘Pencil Skirt’ with revised lyrics by Rosie herself, and the second song was ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree’ which she performed quite fittingly in yellow stockings and a yellow ribbon.  She has a strong voice and has a charismatic stage presence, at one point she came off the stage to allow members of the audience to untie her yellow ribbons.

 

Magenta Queen was next on the bill with her balloon burlesque act where she took to the stage dressed in white and was covered in balloons, which during her act she encouraged the audience to pop. For her second act she dressed as Marie Antionette blowing bubbles and handing out cakes in allusion to Marie Antoinette’s phrase attributed to her ‘Let them eat cake’.  Her magnetic personality captivated the audience who were enthralled throughout.

 

Molly Coddle is a flamboyant drag queen who boldly sang two chart hits from the 80s whist dancing and putting on a show stopping performance in exuberant outfits.  The audience at this point were on their feet clapping to the beat and singing along which provided a fitting ending to the evening’s entertainment. 

The night is free and the next show is Thursday 26th of June at the Corset Club, 8pm.  It’s definitely a night not to be missed.
