Bent Burlesque A risque cabaret of eratic erotica and twisted tease Bend- Bent Burlesque 2014
The Benders are back with an all-new show!!!

Bend is the consolidated creative juices of three years of Bent Burlesque. This isn’t burlesque as you know it, Bend is a considered evisceration of all things pretty, fluffy and sweet- a treat from the subversive pulse of Australia. Satirical, sexy and outrageously hilarious, this is where burlesque meets art whilst having a back street dalliance with the immoral side of feminine humour. This year Imogen Kelly will be presenting a fabulous cast with enchantments from the queer performance underbelly of Australia. Wild, shocking and delightful, Bent Burlesque never fails to pack a punch - or a fist. Presented by the notorious Imogen Kelly, Australia’s Queen of Burlesque and World Queen of Burlesque 2012, Bend presents a line up of Australia’s top performance artists, carnies, strippers and gender benders. The cast includes past offenders Lillian Starr, Glita Supernova, Betty Grumble, with this years special guest Lillikoi Chaos of sideshow fame and splendour! This is a ribald event showcasing Australia's best vajazzle razzlers blowing you away with their twisted tease, erratic erotica, carnal carnivalia and grotesque burlesque. Gratutious, highly skilled, dark glamour. More info available at facebook.com

Bend is for for everyone with a bent for getting bent.

🎂 Let Them Splosh Cake!🎂

The Queen of the cake splosh is back!!! Sydney- come join me in desecrating cakes and spinning on my toosh!

Literally being the inventor of Tge cake Splosh- it’s great to have her back onstage after a long hiatus of 5 years while I recover from surgery.

Now 31 years old, this year (oh my gosh) this is the act that helped convince the big wigs to grant skrippers in Oz the same rights as other entertainers. I fed the Mayor off my fingertips and toes- and another time sploshed cream on the Governor General! 🎂

Come and see this iconic, world famous act Late Night Vice The Show The Grand Electric | Venue - 199 Cleveland St, Redfern!!!
