Très Très Cabaret: Line Up Announced for April 12th

After two sell out shows in 2013 Très Très Cabaret returns on April 12th with another stellar line up!

The first performer to be announced was Velma Von Bon Bon. Velma's unique take on burlesque fuses comedy and glamour and she was voted in the top 20 UK Burlesque Performers 2013 by readers of 21st Century Burlesque Magazine. Velma's acts are as unique as her sweet self and guarantee to raise a smile and perhaps even the odd belly laugh.

Added to the stellar line up is Kiki Lovechild, a multi-skilled British variety entertainer who has performed his unique routines around the United Kingdom and abroad. His routines draw upon his training and experience in a variety of skill-sets, including mime, physical theatre, puppetry, illusion, escapology and more. Kiki is probably best known on the UK cabaret circuit for introducing the world to Furlesque - his quirky puppet burlesque creations. These routines have made him a regular at high profile burlesque events, such as the London Burlesque Festival and the World Burlesque Games, where he achieved silver in the Triple Crown special talent category.

Completing the line up is the stunning Emerald Fontaine. She is every inch the teasing, taunting burlesque dame with her ruby red lips and raven locks. Shaking her hips to the sultry sounds of rhythm and blues, she’s a rockabilly pin-up full of rebellion. Emerald also created the hugely successful ‘The Fox Presents’ in London with Fleur de Guerre; nights of fabulous live music and scorching burlesque, with Emerald acting as compere and performing too.
