Lord Noel's Burlesque Night Out

Whatto! peeps....

Last night Lady Jacqueline and myself attended a quaint old theatre in Norwich named The Maddermarket.
It's small, intimate and has a wonderful olde world atmosphere, which suited the Burlesque show we had tickets for.

A selection of weird, wonderful and tantalisingly titillating artistes made their way onto the dimly lit stage to offer us a fun filled evening of bizarre and exotic sights.

I know the term 'Burlesque' has a rich parentage but it has been adopted to describe the idea of a show featuring strip tease, basques, stockings and suspenders....

...which is what I call 'A Jolly Good Night Out!'
It all culminated in the final act.....
....a beautiful young woman who stripped behind two large feather fans......
....and then started shaking what looked to me like a duvet case as she spun around in circles....
....and inside the case were millions of tiny feathers!

They all went up into the air, captured in the stage lights like a raging blizzard....
...but what goes up must come down.....
....and being only four rows from the front we found ourselves in the middle of this storm.....
...and were very soon totally covered...

...and literally spitting feathers!
It was a wonderful spectacle....
...and they must have some very understanding cleaners indeed!
We came out after the show looking like a couple of half plucked chickens!
....What fun!

Tallyho!
