LA CLIQUE - A SIDESHOW BURLESQUE
Late night snacks with plenty of sauce
A burlesque revival couldn't have come at a better time. Who needs five drunk comedians being heckled by drunks for late night Festival entertainment when you can have a raft of international acts indulging in acrobatics, hoopla. striptease, trapeze, vaudeville and sword swallowing? The delectable Miss Behave (pictured) indulges in the latter and is billed as ‘Betty Boop meets Marlene Deitrich'. You have been warned. (Mark Robertson)
