Drag, J-pop and roller-skates

Cabaret New Burlesque  
Feb 13, 20:30, afterparty 22:30; Bremen, Nyropsgade 39-41, Cph V ; 320kr

Bremen theatre is hosting a night of good-old-fashioned raunchiness. 

Join hostess Kitty on the Keys, the classically contoured Catherine D’Lish, the tongue-in-cheek stylings of Dirty Martini, the ‘50s inspired Mimi Le Meaux,  the horror genre-inspired Julie La Muz and bundle of energy Roky Roulette – the man of the troupe. 

The public are welcome to dress accordingly and party into the night at the burlesque afterparty. 

Tassels and corsets, music and comedy – who could ask for anything more? Promises to be a great night out!
