EVERYMAN THEATRE BOOK!!

I am so delighted and proud to be included in a new coffee table book "A Theatre For All Seasons - The History of the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham".

It is a truly beautiful book and a fab insight into the beautiful theatre that was "The Missy Malone & Friends Burlesque Revue" 's first home! 

I am so lucky to have a full page photo (by Miss Rain Photography) and a lovely write up about how successful the show was in their studio theater and how it brought burlesque back into the Everyman! I am delighted to read about and be featured alongside the girlie revues that graced the stage in the 1930's-40's!

You can read more about the book here: http://everymanbook.com/

DELICIOUS BURLESQUE... & SAUNA!!

Last night I was performing at "Delicious Burlesque" at The Spot in Derby. It was a great show and it was lovely to see some familiar faces! The line up for the main show was Rosie Lugosi, Natsumi Scarlett, Venus Noir, Mister Mistress, Elle Amour and myself, there was also a battle of burlesque competition earlier in the evening.

After the show we headed back to our luxury apartment which was very plush! Natsumi and I had a Sauna in our en suite! So Venus, Natsumi and I indulged in a 2am Sauna, a perfect way to unwind after a show!

UP NORTH!

Last Thursday I caught that old familiar train to Scotland for a flying visit to my parents and to perform at a QMU fresher's week event! I enjoyed a swim, steam & sauna with my Mama & Papa before we relaxed for the night with Mama's home cooking!

On Friday Mama and me headed into Edinburgh to poster and flyer for my Oct "Missy Malone & Friends Burlesque Revue" at the Voodoo Rooms!  (www.missymaloneandfriends.com) We then treated ourselves to lunch at one of my fave places "Mums" (highly recommended for those visiting Edinburgh).


Mama at "Mums"!


We then went for a wander around the Museum (I didn't see everything last time, and still didn't this time!!)




That evening I was performing at a Queen Margaret University Fresher's event along with some familiar northern faces!  Wild Card Kitty, Hettie Heartache, Amelie Soleil, Ed Muir and Impressive Johnson! It was a fun show and nice to hang out with all the gang!
