Hooray - much better.

To get things going I thought I'd list all the weird and wonderful things going on in Scottish burlesque - promoters, nights and performers - so that anyone introducing themselves to what's going on can get a comprehensive picture of the scene.

(In the interest of self promotion!) Rhymes with Purple Productions - we represent one of the UKs busiest and most professional freelance burlesque troupe as well as producing one off cabaret events.

Dr Sketchy Glasgow - the largest branch of the biggest burlesque pheonmenon in the world, Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School. A saucy, boozy fusion of burlesque life drawing and cabaret mischief every month at The Arches. Hosted by Lucille Burn & Rufus T Fahrenheit

Dr Sketchy Edinburgh - the Edinburgh branch of your favourite global art phenomenon hosted by Wild Card Kitty

The Academy of Burlesque & Cabaret - managed and taught by Gypsy Charms & Viva Misadventure this is penulitmate place for burlesque beginners to be shown the ropes. Reasonably priced and extremely fun these workshops are essential for the budding starlette.

Burlescapades! - an elegant evening of champagne and cocktails with a dazzling stage show starring some of the world's finest burlesque and cabaret entertainment. Managed by superstar Lily White, very decadent, very burlesque!

Club Noir - going strong since 2004, the world's largest in terms of capacity burlesque night club.

Rockaburley - exploding onto the scene this year and set for big things this is Scotlands first and most exciting Rockabilly Burlesque event. Run by performers Daiquiri Dusk & Cat Aclysmic.

Spangled Cabaret - a quirky and unique miniature cabaret in the retro surroundings of Cafe Rio in Glasgow's westend. This fabulous little night is free to get in and features burlesque & cabaret performances from local talent and live music from the Glasgow Glam Bangers & Scunner, who are also your hosts and promoters.

Cheesecake - a brand new night for newcomers to get a chance to strut their stuff for a live audience. Making its debut to the scene on the 25th of July at Capitol in Glasgow this new event is being hosted by Alabama Rose.

The Bongo Club Cabaret - Evoking Brechtian Berlin, Parisian Cafes, New York Glam and London Deadpan this fantastic event has been an Edinburgh Fringe staple for a number of years now

If I've forgot anything, which I probably have, then get posting!

Haha! That's ridiculous, in the most wonderful way!

I've just found out that I may have to take overnight buses to Glasgow for the birthday bash :s They cost 1/4 of the cost of trains and planes... and an even smaller fraction of the petrol cost! Eek!

Indeed, it's all happening in bonnie Scotchland!

So it's official, you will be joining us? :excited:

We're a bit tight for space that weekend as Molly is staying with us but you are more than welcome to crash on the couch if it helps matters at all?

The overnight bus is a bit intense but decidely cheaper, it's true, what's the over all plan?

Oh and Beatrix, by the way...it's Monday
