The full line up is being confirmed as you read this, but rest assured as usual it will feature the very cream of British cabaret talent, circus, burlesque and other exciting art forms. And as its Halloween this show will not be for the faint hearted, expect side show oddities and freaks of nature.

Tickets are already selling for this show and are available from Bristol Ticket Shop now.

Here’s a little taster of what’s to come. We just love The Barron

“The Baron is a sideshow circus performer in the old tradition. The charming Scandinavian prince of hearts will shock and entertain you with his nipples of steel and fabulous leopardskin pants!!!”

Our Christmas event is on Wednesday December 15th and will feature the cream of British cabaret. Tickets for this show will be on sale next week.

On the 2nd of October Hoochie Coochie’s creator and international showgirl sensation Keda Breeze is teaching a full day of burlesque training in Bristol.

In this fun filled and inspirational workshop Keda Breeze teaches you everything you need to know to become a burlesque starlet. It is excellent training for those wishing to take to the stage, but also a great experience for those who just want to learn burlesque for their own confidence and enjoyment.

This workshop is taught in small groups with a highly supportive atmosphere and is suitable for everyone from complete beginners, to those with dance or performance experience.

You are highly likely to see a more sassy, sexy and confident side of yourself as well as having a whole lot of fun! The workshop teaches lots more than just dance moves and has a big emphasis on performance.

Activities in the day include:

• A warm up with some fun exercises that lead us into emulating movie star gestures and mannerisms
• How to hold yourself and walk like a showgirl
  Classic burlesque dance movements that build into a burlesque routine
• Pin up poses
• Body conditioning
• Striptease technique including glove peeling
• Performance, stage craft and routine building
• Costuming and styling, including how to create beautiful burlesque costumes on a budget
  Tassel twirling (this is done in small groups)
• Creating your own burlesque performance in small groups

Testimonials
Past attendee’s enjoyed learning the art of burlesque and have left feeling empowered, here’s what the ladies from the last day in May said:

“Really brilliant day. Came in feeling a bit shy and nervous, came out feeling sexy and confident! Really inspiring. Thanks so much”

“I came to the workshop as someone fit and active but not feeling sexy. I left feeling in touch with my sexy wild side. Thank you”

“Keda’s down to earth welcoming style of teaching burlesque filled me with a confidence I didn’t think I’d reach in just a few hours. The day was fun, well paced and full of learning. I left feeling really confident in my body”

“I found the experience really empowering and was shocked to see myself as sensual and beautiful. I feel so much more confident! Thank you Keda”

About Keda
Keda Breeze attended Circomedia School for Circus and Physical Theatre, and also has training in theatre and many dance styles. She has been performing in circus, cabaret and burlesque since 2001 and has received great acclaim for her unique performances. She is currently very much in demand and performs nationally and internationally, mostly at top end parties and private events.

Keda is very passionate about women’s sexual expression through dance and is wonderful at getting her students to achieve far more than they ever dreamed was possible, whilst gaining empowerment, and having a whole lot of fun in the process.

The stellar cast included Miss Exotic World winner Julie Atlas Muz who was flown in especially from NYC, Matt Fraser, Ed Muir, Kitty Bang Bang, Keda Breeze, Dennis Teeth, Miss Abagail and Le Pants. We had girls on motorbikes riding up ramps onto the stage, Julie in her award winning act where she gets inside a giant balloon, aerial hoop, fire, Chinese pole, musical saw, Le Pants art pop and of course the show was followed by the Bang DJ’s rocking after party.

Our brief was to put on something X rated and freaky, which we think we fulfilled rather well and certain acts really became the talk of the festival. As word got round about us more and more people were turning up to see the show each night.

Hooligan Night

An electronic punk pop outfit fronted behind the apocalyptic pin up Ruby Blues, the woman behind the cult sensation Glastonbury’s Trash City and the recent hit Trash City show at The Camden Roundhouse.

Ruby’s towering stage-presence, honed by 5 years as an acclaimed performer on the London underground art/neo cabaret scene, has led to comparisons to the likes of Siouxie Sioux, Debbie Harry and Karen O, making Hooligan Night one of the most exciting female-fronted bands to emerge from the UK in recent memory. Expect a red hot performative stage show!

Ruby Blues joins the ranks of legendary front women: she sets the stage on fire before she’s even started to sing.
