Kinky & Quirky's 'Big Reveal' 2010

In November of 2007 Devon’s burlesque funsters Kinky & Quirky created a monthly event in our home town of Torquay. We moved our eclectic night to Devon’s capital city where it was consistently hailed as ‘Exeter’s best night out’ and highly regarded along with some of the finer burlesque nights on the U.K scene.

This is the dawning of a new era for Kinky & Quirky as we are moving the night to what we hope will be the premier location for burlesque and retro lovin’ folk in the South West.

With our next three monthly events secured, ‘K&Q’ would like to invite you to a sneak preview of what’s to come, so on Saturday 11 September, K&Q’s ‘The Highball Lounge’ will be at ‘Club Rainbow’ Belgrave Road, Torquay.

This 400 capacity cabaret venue will enable us to continue the large scale antics of the Exeter night but with knobs on! A large fully lit, red curtained stage, great sound system operated from a gold lame dj booth , wooden dance floor, mirror ball and a piano all adds to the ambience of the venue and has got us squealing like little piggies!

Over 100 groups of tables and chairs on tiered levels, booth seating, tablecloths and candlelight make this venue feel like one of the nightclubs in ‘Good Fellas’ – yes it’s kitsch but it’s so Kinky & Quirky and it means at least 200 people will be able to sit down and watch the night unfold.

Combining old school glamour with a modern twist this showcase night will see us meetin’ and greetin’, whilst playing a lot of great music spanning blues, mambo, rock ‘n’ roll, retro sleaze and cool cheese, the joint will be jumping and this is guaranteed to be another great Kinky & Quirky night but there will be no live entertainment.

The ticket price for this event will be only £1.00 in advance – if your name is on our list. We are not offering a pre-purchase option - email quirky@kinkyandquirky.com to say that you want to come!

We want this to be an opportunity for Exeter people to make the trip to experience the venue for themselves and so we are going to provide a return coach service (if there’s enough interest) which will be only £6.00 per person – bookable in advance only through quirky@kinkyandquirky.com

The event is strictly over 18’s only and expressions of interest to get full details should be emailed to quirky@kinkyandquirky.com as soon as possible.

We look forward to a great night and a fantastic future and we can't wait to share it with the best crowd in the South West!

Absolutely Fabulous

Devon’s burlesque funsters Kinky & Quirky successfully bring together innovoative entertainers from the U.K burlesque and cabaret scene and this evening sees the dynamic duo evolve again and continue to grow by putting on another great night.

The 400 capacity venue will show off the performers as they would hope to be seen; a large fully lit, red curtained, central stage, great sound system operated from a gold lame dj booth, wooden dance floor and cabaret style, tiered candlelit tables and seating.

K&Q are delighted to welcome back an 'Absolutely Fabulous' line-up of performers reflecting classic, cheesecake and show stopping styles

LaLa Rouge and Dee Dee De La Rouge of 'The Bay Belles' will be sprinkling cheeky glitter dust and tickling funny bones with their humorous take on the genre.

Fellow Welsh gal Miss Lucy Purr will be bumping and grinding her way across the stage with her scrumptious hourglass curves and clever interpretations of classic burlesque moves.

And finally - the big kahuna..........

International sensation, pin-up model, haus-frau, tea fiend - the breathtaking, pulse raising and occassionally fatal Anna Fur Laxis - What else is there to say?

With the usual array of fun and frolics, great music spanning blues, mambo, rock ‘n’ roll, retro sleaze and cool cheese, the joint will be jumping and this is guaranteed to be another great Kinky & Quirky night.

The event is strictly over 18’s only and there will be two levels of ticket pricing - VIP tickets at £10.00 per head which offers allocated front row table seating with waitress service or advanced tickets priced at £6.00 per head which offers allocated table seating on a first book - first serve basis.

There could be an organized return coach from Exeter (if there is enough interest and advanced payment) Return tickets for the coach would be £6.00 per head.

Expressions of interest and requests for more information should be emailed to quirky@kinkyandquirky.com

Kinky & Quirky: 2 of the nicest, hardworking, talented & all round awesome people I have met. Every month they work hard & put on an effortlessly amazing Burlesque night which always packs out due to their huge following. K&Q is where I rediscovered my confidence, where I met my awesome best friends and where I met my amazing Bf (both times). Long live Kinky & Quirky! xxx JG -2010

“A fabulous night out and proving more popular each time, K&Q have brought burlesque to Exeter with enormous success. The performers are consistantly brilliant, gorgeous girls with clever, witty, engaging routines that inspire many of the ladies watching to take advantage of the workshops offered each month.

It's a night that offers the excuse to be entertained by class acts from around the country, and to dance your socks off – I would recommend this night to everyone." TB - 2009

“I love K&Q's nights because of the sheer breadth of entertainment that can't be found anywhere else in Exeter in one venue. From Jazz Crooners to some of the UK's top BurlyQ performers and a great DJ with a really wide choice of music to dance to, there's always something exciting going on. If you want to meet lots of friendly, open and like-minded people of all ages and from all walks of life then get yourself to Kinky and Quirky's Burlesque nights!” JM- 2009
