 BIZARRE BALL 2009 IS GO! Tickets available NOW!
We have a LIMITED number of Early Bird tickets for sale at £23! The price will then go up to £28. So BE FAST AND SAVE CASH!!! The return of the wildest, wickedest freakshow party in history! Sin-ders, you SHALL go to the Ball! Or perhaps BOTH balls!
After
months of plotting, planning and scheming behind the scenes at Bizarre
Towers, we’re finally able to announce details of the 2009 Bizarre
Ball. Diaries at the ready, hellraisers… Excited about the
Bizarre Ball? Meet up with other Ball goers, discuss what you're
wearing and who's playing at our alternative community site, YourBizarreThis
year’s Bizarre Ball will take place on Saturday 17 October, at London’s
SeOne Club near London Bridge train station (the venue we’d originally
booked for 2008 before unforeseen circumstances meant we had to move
elsewhere). Acts and bands will be announced over the next few months,
so stay tuned to the magazine and Bizarremag.com to hear the latest
news as it breaks. As last year’s event was totally sold out, we’d
advise readers to book tickets sooner rather than later to make sure
you don’t end up sulking at home, crying into a takeaway, when you
should be having the craziest time of your life with the Bizarre team
and all your mates. The inaugural Bizarre Ball in October 2008
was a massive success, despite a last-minute site change that threw all
our plans into disarray and forced the Bizarre events squad to work
through the night to squeeze a two-stage show into a single room. Given
the champion job everyone did of pulling off an incredible party
despite this challenge, just imagine how spectacular it’s going to be
this time! Our plans have taken your feedback into account, plus we’ve
been cooking up some of the most delectably kooky projects in our
underground ideas lab…it’s gonna turn your tiny little minds inside out
with glee! Building on the brilliance of our first major event,
we’re going to make the 2009 Bizarre Ball bigger and better than last
year’s shindig, with the very best burlesque, freak show, cabaret and
circus performers bringing the show to life, a heaving portion of
extreme entertainment to sate the bloodlust of all you gorehounds out
there, and amazing bands and DJs to keep you grooving into the wee
small hours of Sunday morning. And, of course, there’ll be plenty of
scintillating surprises to make the evening go with a bigger bang than
an exploding fireworks factory - including an expanded Dom Corner where
you can get ass-whupped by the slinkiest dominaxtrices in existence. The
psychocats who put Bizarre magazine together each month will also be on
hand to meet and greet readers, but what we’re most excited about is
YOU! Last year, Bizarre readers went to extraordinary lengths to dream
up the best outfits we’ve ever seen, so we’re unfeasibly excited to see
what weird creations you come up with. What’s most important is that
you follow your heart and allow all your wildest fantasies come to
life. Go on, be proud to be different! Date: Saturday 17 October 2009 Venue: SeOne Club, 41-43 St Thomas Street, London SE1 3QX

Carnival Divine started off how every carnival should begin, with food, drinks and shopping. Entering the Jazz Club you are greeted by the brilliant burlesque girls including Fanny Divine herself, our favourite burlesque organiser. The venue was well-presented, space by the bar, for people to chat and mingle, not to mention get a drink (including their range of fabulous cocktails), there were tables and chairs in front of the stage to sit and a wide screen with burlesque video clips for people to enjoy on the lead up to the show.
Joe walked on to the stage and immediately introduced himself as the compere of the evening, with a line up of Fanny Divine, Misty Lux and Scarlett Daggers promised to the audience. Joe warmed up the crowd brilliantly. Using the original tricks that work up the crowd, who can wolf-whistle? Can we go louder? Works every time and good on him for sticking to what people love and what they know. As for my favourite Joe quote of the night was when he compared how the night will be to losing your virginity to Mike Tyson. Brilliant.
In the first half of the show we had four amazing burlesque performances, including a Milk Maid, a burlesque belly-dancer and their very own cat woman. In her first performance of the night Scarlett Daggers was sexy, sultry and polished, bringing a certain elegance to the night. Then the first half ended with a variety show with puppets. Pico the puppet being the star and the sponge, there was then the unemployed funny monkey and a French sock puppet who wrote his own poetry, including a hilarious witty piece about the Jeremy Kyle Show, having everyone in the audience in floods of laughter.
The second half of the night started with Chris Cross, the escapologist from Britain's Got Talent. He spent quite a long time trying to warm up the audience, his jokes were filthy and his ego was as big as his hair, which the audience loved. This guy was unique and spunky and he worked well with the audience. We ended with the final four burlesque performances of the night including Heather Sweets performance which our compere described as "Angry and messy" and he was right. It was a remarkable performance, but it was Misty Lux who stole the night with her performance to Christina Aguilera, Fighter. Her performance was sexy and every move was polished.
The night as a whole was amazing and a definite must-see, at least once. It might not be your thing but actually go and experience it - it's worth it. The whole night ran smoothly thanks to the organisational skills of Fanny Divine, who knew what was happening at every step. At the same time teaching everyone a valuable lesson, you don't need to be the most beautiful girl to get on a stage and live your dream, just be comfortable with yourself….but if you've got it, flaunt it.

As promised on Friday, I dropped in to take a look around Matt&Phreds last night, as Manchester's bi-monthly Carnival Divine burlesque night enjoyed its first session at it new home. A roaring success it was too: with over 150 grinning punters packing the venue pretty much to capacity and the rain bucketing down outside, the atmosphere inside was steamy in a more literal sense than anyone might've predicted.
Anyway, you can hit the link above to check out the event's MySpace page, so I won't bother going into too much detail about the individual acts themselves here - suffice to say we were entertained by a roster of feisty females (the majority of whom boasted such Bond she-villain names as Misty Lux, Scarlett Daggers and Fanny Divine) doing a variety of wildly diverse routines, a somewhat-edgier-than-usual puppet show, and a contortionist-escapologist (Chris Chross) dislocating his shoulders for pleasure and profit.
But what most impressed me about the night was the atmosphere. It was an absolute riot in there - everywhere you looked, you saw glad rags and grinning faces (the majority of the latter generally cramming down delicious Matt&Phreds pizzas, or sipping on a boozy tipple of some description).
There was an excellent mix of ages, genders and styles in evidence too - as someone pointed out to me at the end of the night, burlesque nights actually have a tendency to be incredibly well attended by female guests, leaving males a bit thin on the ground (not the way you'd think it'd work, but it's true). Last night was a triumph in every sense, and we'll certainly be back for the next one one
