The Peacock Lounge - Vaudeville Club

Burlesque existed for centuries as a theatrical form based on comedy and satire. It only adopted its signature erotic tone over the last century.

It was revived in the UK during the 90s, and has seen an explosion in popularity!

Burlesque performers use diverse forms of communication with the their audiences - interpreting music and lyrics as well as employing mime to amuse, berate, titillate, shock, mislead or educate.

Burlesque is an art form. Burlesque shows across the UK incorporate genres as diverse as ballet, fire performance, opera, contortionism and aerial acrobatics - as well as striptease, which is actually still used by many performers to parody sexuality, politics and social values.

Burlesque has created a context in which women can be creative, performative and sexually expressive in a way determined solely by themselves, irrespective of their age, shape, size or proportions; burlesque celebrates the female - and male - form in all its variety.

It's risqué, decadent and entertaining. Burlesque delights in an image of glamour, mischief and sauciness, and attracts a sophisticated following.

 So why not join us here at Peacock Lounge for an evening of beauty and decadence with wonderful burlesque performances and musical entertainment from Miss Savoy Affair, Khandie Khisses and V.J Spankie.

This night is a real excuse to get dressed up and peacock yourself with beautiful dresses and fascinators as well as smart suits and the occasional hat. At the moment this is our most popular night and so we recommend you book well in advance!

This is a change to the normal event being held on the second Saturday of the month but is still the usual Burlesque event in its content.
