8pm
ELSIE DIAMOND THE SENSIBLE DRESSER
Elsie Diamond international burlesque bombshell and singer presents this one-woman show, inspired by her day job: dresser to the stars in the unpredictable world of costume. Set backstage in an opera house this is a comic, sexy and heartfelt piece told through song and striptease. With her vintage looks, a voice from a bygone era and exquisite costumes, Elsie transports you effortlessly through different eras whilst maintaining her very modern sense of humour. Having worked in television, opera and theatre, Elsie tells tales from her own and friends' careers. With some artistic license of course… These stories can’t possibly be true, can they?

Elsie Diamond effortlessly blends storytelling, comedy and burlesque to create a sumptuous journey through the decades. Not one to be missed. (Readers Digest)

Costume performer Elsie Diamond has great stage presence and offers a glamorous, escapist trip into the past, whilst not dressing sensibly at all. (TV Bomb)

"Elsie's show was fantastic. The songs she showcased were so diverse and unique that she kept me captivated for the whole performance. (ALISON FOLLOWS Audience member, LONDON)

9.30pm
MISTER MEREDITH
Thrill-Seeking Pianist WLTM Like-Minded Audience for NSA Fun & Good Times

Me: funny songs, smutty innuendoes, singalongs and a coquettish swipe at society. You: Looks not important but GSOH preferred. Can accommodate. Mister Meredith returns with his fourth solo show, searching for the next thrill, finding more distractions, and generally looking over your shoulder in case there's someone better-looking behind you.

"Mr Meredith is a master of audience banter, innuendo and smut, who takes a disarming, coquettish delight in the world and his fellow human beings. [He] has a life-enhancing message about embracing anticipation, grasping the therapeutic power of lying, and certainly not wasting our time looking for the next big thing" Broadway Baby

"A talented pianist, owner of a lovely singing voice and the ability to endear and entertain instantly...Really good fun." **** Scotsgay
