Thread: Competition - win tickets to Black Country Burlesque featuring Beatrix Von Bourbon

Hi everyone,

After many sucessful shows under our belt and as a thank you to all who support us, we thought it would be a fun idea to hold a competition to win 2 x pairs of tickets to the next Black Country Burlesque show on Saturday 6th March 2010.

Venue - The Public, New Street, West Bromwich (right next to the bus station, Metro & handy parking)

This show is going to be a stunner........

For those of you who know your burlesque, you will realise what an opporunity it is to witness the sensation that is 'Beatrix Von Bourbon'.

We also have another fantastic performer extrodinaire.....
Lil Ms Vix Buzzfox & her private gents - Vix was formerly a member of the band 'Fuzzbox' - she will enlighten us with a selection of quicky songs throughout the evening.

The show is hosted by MOB Tassle Time host - The Decadent Gent - who never disappoints!

Al Rudge & Phil Hasted will be gracing the stage to deliver more magical comedy genius

Ditzy Diamond, Peski De Ville, Satine De Monte, Lexi Sexx, Felicia Noir, Twinkel Pink, Delilah Cherryblossom, Cherie Champagne & Rubie Lamour will all be shimmying the night away no doubt teasing you all too!

The sponsors of the show are TipTop Photography - images from previous shows can be found on their website www.tiptop-photography.com

This will be one of the only shows where the stage comes out into the audience and is an all seated venue with excellent bar services.

I'm intrigued, what were the correct answers to which century did burlesque first appear (because it's a controversial one) and which one is the odd one out because I reckon there are various answers to that too eg.

Missy Malone could be the odd one out as Tempest Storm and Bette Midler are both American and red heads and both have connections to Gypsy Rose Lee

Bette Midler could be the odd one out because she doesn't do burlesque as some might recognise it.....though she does do parody and glam and comedy that would qualify her to be a burlesque comedienne

Has Tempest Storm never performed in the UK, so she could be the odd one out?

and I'm sure if I thought hard enough I could come up with other reasons that any one of them could be the odd one out.

Come on Rob, you can't have a quiz without telling us the answers

I think Betty Midler is the odd one out as her name is spelt incorrectly!!!!
