Swing Mon Amour
Swing Mon Amour
Swing Mon amour is a little club night run by French crooner & musician Benoit Viellefon that has come a long way. Becoming known quickly months after months for the quality of the bands and djs, Swing Mon Amour swung around London starting in Brick Lane on Sundays , moving to Fritzrovia on Tuesdays, then emigrating to Kensal Green on Thursdays before finally landing in the temple of cabaret burlesque known as Volupté on Friday night. You'll be seduced by the best live bands on the circuit, a very relaxed atmosphere and generally charming people coming in ever greater numbers. No specific clothing or dancing skill is required to get in, only good manners and a smile.

Night Of The Blue Stockings - Thinking Women's Burlesque Cabaret
Can a woman have a brain and still be sexy? Of course she can! And to prove it, a coterie of London's premier female cabaret and burlesque performers get together to reconvene the Blue Stockings Society, with a sassy 21st century spin. The witty and original cabaret songstress Tricity Vogue is joined by an array of fabulous females, including the inventive and subversive Audacity Chutzpah, international burlesque sensation Beatrix Von Bourbon, underground star Polly Cupcake and that inimitable, potty-mouthed agent provocateur Ophelia Bitz, for a night celebrating female intelligence and creativity in its many surprising incarnations.
Back in the 18th Century, when it was unbecoming for women to read or study, a bunch of rebellious ladies got together and formed their own literary club, the Blue Stockings Society. And now you too can become a member of the society's new incarnation - we might even include our own special Initiation Ritual. Don't worry, we'll let the menfolk in too... and boys, you might even learn a thing or two from these ladies...!

The Blue Lady Sings
Acclaimed cabaret songstress Tricity Vogue brings a kitsch portrait to life and transforms herself into The Blue Lady, putting the art in heartbreak with her own hilarious spin on the Blues.
She's joined by a very Special Guest, the Cabaret legend David Mills, making his Volupté debut with his own caustic brand of finely-honed rapid-fire wit. There'll also be a special appearance from one of London's finest burlesque performers, and Michael Roulston joins the party on piano.
The Blue Lady has been framed! But she's about to sing her way off the wall and into your heart...
In a dazzling, witty and strangely haunting cabaret spectacle, Tricity's new incarnation takes you on a rhapsodic rollercoaster ride from classy jazz to sassy swing with some surprising songs along the way. And be warned! You may become The Blue Lady's next grand passion yourself before the night is through. Prepare to be serenaded, danced with, shot at, or all three.
A madcap musical whirl through what it means to be blue from one of Londons most quirky, elegant, warm and - yes - colourful cabaret performers. The blues were never so true.... or so entertaining.
