Do You Burlesque

After persuading Mr Caddie that the flashing mac was not appropriate for the evening out at a Burlesque show, we all trundled up to Dewsbury Town Hall (yup sounds seedy already) with low expectations for the night. Oh my were we over dressed or what, it was like a scene from Rocky Horror with most of the women in the audience dressed up or down (depends how you look at it), basques, stockings, maid outfits with frilly Knicks. It was all we could do to stop Mr Caddie from drooling.

So to the show and before we start the tickets were only £10, well not the most polished of performances, one woman with what can only be described as a tyre mark tattoo across her back and another that both I and Mr Caddie were convinced was a bloke (Mr Caddy actually started shouting at the stage “It’s a Man!”). The performances were ok, but we all had fun gettin tiddly howling at the stage and watching a woman get her baps out to waggle them with tassels on. More entertaining as mentioned was the audience and their attire. We all chatted to a family (well mother, daughter, the mums toyboy who was huge and the daughters boyf) who appeared to follow this show around the country. I personally didn’t hear anything the family were saying since I was concentrating on the views very hard.

Both Caddie and I got ever so slightly tiddly but the night was fun and entertaining all at the same time. can’t wait for the next fun night.
