Cheesecake Burlesque Show
This fabulous burlesque show took place at the Capitol, 468 Sauchiehall St, Glasgow,on Friday 26th September , in their downstairs venue area.
We had a couple of drinks first in the ground level lounge which was well-kept with modern decor and seating. The actual show started at 8 pm and if you were early you could get one of the comfortable seats and tables near the stage. The atmosphere was vintage and exciting and we were itching to see the performances. Friendly 1940s style "Cigarette girls" came round selling popcorn/sweets/cakes and the compere, a flamboyant Cherry Loco introduced the acts, injecting some funny one-liners as he went along. Youve got to love the guy!
The performers themselves were all beautiful, fabulously corseted, expressive and had obviously taken a lot of time and effort in creating their individual acts, which were both funny, sexy, and with that all-important tease...the essence of burlesque, which was supremely captured. The band Sonny Marvello finished off the show with some fabulous sounds, and a style of their own..love those red bowler hats!
I would recommend the Cheesecake shows at the Capitol to everyone who appreciates fashion, style, cabaret,music, beauty, even history and art as burlesque incorporates both.
Have a fun night out at the Capitol Cheesecake Show next time on Halloween 31st October, the Night of the Living Tease......dont watch alone!!
