The night was hosted by Porcelain Alice & Diesel Darling. Porcelain Alice a showgirl, burlesque dancer and producer. She demonstrated her skills on the evening with her light hearted nonchalant boganesque crude demeanour and profanities, delivering many laughs. Although not advertised as a comedy show, there are many laughs to be had. She is a seasoned performer with a wealth of credentials and her experience and ability to entrance a crowd was apparent. Dieslel Darling supported the hosting and also performed a routine englfing fire that the crowds on the edge of their seats in addition to her crazy electrical performance.

As for the Burlesque, this show had it all and the girls were amazing. Quality performances by Kael, Miss Burlesque NSW 2018 delivering an increible David Bowie routine, Ginger Fox, Miss Burlesque Australia runner up 2015 – performing two sultry routines and Miss Arizona demonstrating some amazing skills on the pole. Kelly Ann Doll’s impressive rockabilly dancing done at a cracking pace with plenty of sensuality in the performance was certainly entertaining. Diesel Darling topped off the show with her use of snakes and outfit with metal grinders spraying sparks throughout her performance.

This show was a real eye opener, it was refreshing to see some exciting live entertainment in Sydney, with all performers putting on a great show. It was great alternative to entertaining yourselves at a bar or staring at the footy on TV at the pub. This show was equally enjoyed by both ladies and gents. If you are looking for something to do and a little different, then we thoroughly recommend this.
