Presenting….
Your host for the evening…
‘BIZARRE MAGAZINES’ ALIX ‘FOXY’ FOX!
For one night only, leaving her pigeon hole at ‘Bizarre Magazine’ towers, to present to you an evening of unforgettable entertainment!
She is known to be a pun demon, wreaking pun-demonium.
A cunning linguist. If all the world’s a stage, then she’s putting on a play on words.
Yes, she’s the pun-lovin’ criminal - double meanings and twisted sentences are what she does.
You have been warned.
Performances from…
VICKY BUTTERFLY
Part Burlesque starlet, part innovative performance artiste, part music hall Vaudevillian, and all dreamer. But don’t be fooled by her impish allure -
Vicky Butterfly’s elegant, classic style comes with a twist.
The daughter of an Irish showgirl and an eccentric Viennese aristocrat, her shows reflect her unusual background, with clouds of butterflies that fly out from her clothes as she hovers en Pointe. True to the original spirit of Burlesque and Vaudeville, her beautifully choreographed routines take in everything from the ethereal, the breath-taking and the beautiful to the macabre and the comic.
She is a Carnival Queen with a show-stopping 17” corseted waist, a doll, a butterfly, a peacock, a swan, a silver-screen siren, a living Klimt painting, a sorcerer - and anything her imagination can create.
Always in demand internationally, she has an enviable roster of clients (including Roberto Cavalli and the Paris Ritz)
She can frequently be seen gracing the pages of the worlds magazines, dancing her way through music videos and stadium projections by top bands (including The Verve, Kings of Leon and Paul Weller) and adding her unique style to film-sets as far away as Bollywood!
DOLORES DELIGHT
‘A real life Jessica Rabbit if ever there was one. Dolores Delight is a high-kicking, song-belting, sizzling showgirl with spunk!’ - Bizarre Magazine
At only 60 inches tall, Dolores is a sultry pocket sized cabaret siren with a voice to raise the roof with her versatile look, glamorous and eclectic wardrobe and enigmatic voice.
Born and raised in a small town (just north of nowhere), Dolores Delight taught herself to sing by listening to her grandfather’s collection of old jazz records whilst dreaming of one day being a movie star like Rita Hayworth.
Dolores was classically trained in dance from a very young age and has spent over half her lifetime working as a professional actress on television, film and in West End theatre. Miss Delight has not only danced with The Royal Ballet and recorded at the world famous Abbey Road Studios but she has delighted audiences at The Cannes Film Festival, The London Palladium, The Royal Albert Hall and even Buckingham Palace too!
With a large repertoire of songs ranging from Billie Holiday to Ella Fitzerald and Chicago to Cabaret, there’s no way you could ever tire of listening to this sultry songstress as she takes you through the classics but with her unique style of rock ‘n roll attitude with ‘old school’ charm.

JOE BLACK
‘Here’s ROAR talent, that’ll really GROW(L) on you!’ - Bizarre Magazine
“Neo-Cabaret sensation” - Dusty Limits
“Theatrical, funny and never afraid to cross the boundaries of good taste” - Matt Merritt, callupontheauthor.com
The neo-vaudevillian, the real life Disney villain,
the gin-addled courtesan, the anti-christ of cabaret and the one and only waltzing cynic…
Eccentric to international stages, Joe Black takes to shows in an almost cartoon-esque musical assault,
sweeping the audience through deathly showtunes, stomping polkas and heart wrenching ballads.
Though seemingly unable to fit into any particular category, Joe Black has shared a stage with many notable names from different stretches of performance,
musical acts such as Amy Winehouse, Gary Numan, My Bloody Valentine, St Vincent, Noah And The Whale, Hadouken and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly
and those, of a more performance art and cabaret nature, such as Empress Stah, Dusty Limits, Anna Fur Laxis, Beatrix Von Bourbon, Vicky Butterfly, Scottee, Des O’Connor and many more.
With a huge array of events, such as Torture Garden, Bestival, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival and so many more under his belt…
Mister Joe Black (armed with an accordion, a piano, and a voice with force like no other),
Is ready to give you a show, that years of therapy couldn’t even help you forget.
We’re very concerned…
