The best of London's Burlesque
Flay and Deville’s Circus of Marvels has taking over Madame Jojo’s in London’s Soho once every 3 months for over a year now and has played each time to a full house. Their delightful mix of naughty caberet is universally appealing, combining comedy, magic, music, escapology with naughtier more risque acts they almost constantly have me in stitches.
Their last spectacular which took us to the end of Brighton Pier for beach inspired summer frolics was the best burlesque night I have ever seen, and trust me I was no Burlie virgin. Flay and Deville compered in their inimitable style, introducing acts like the Great Crapini, possibly the worlds worst magician, Kalki, comedy hula hooper extraordinaire, the incredibly sexy Spencer the Devil with a very revealing portrayal of King Arthur, and Shirley and Shirley’s wonderful wordless comedy skits.
For their next trick they’ll be taking us back to school, on the 7th of September you’d better don your uniforms and get down to Madame Jojo’s for your induction to the classroom of Flay and Deville’s Circus of Marvels featuring:
Madame Galina Prima Ballerina (The Forces’ Sweetheart, in dainty tutu and hairy knees)
The Flirtinis (an enchanting trad-jazz trio with live accompaniment)
Diva Hollywood (international burlesque star and downright saucy Madam)
Fanny Malone (a sexy songstress belting out bawdy music hall classics)
Rollicking Richard Sullivan (a unique yo-yo trickster making his London stage debut!)
…and many, many more.
