Strange & Blinding in conjunction with Valentine Entertainments present a once in your lifetime event to experience the filming of a 1970's variety club for television broadcast.

Upon entering the delightful c**k Tavern, you will be transported back to a time where life was more fun, dolly birds giggled and wiggled and you could drink and rejoice at the diverse array of kitsch talent paraded before you.

FREDDIE VALENTINE and HOLLY BLUE, backed by their houseband combo THE VALENTINOS sing and host an evening of extreme variety as they attempt to film a "down to earth" cabaret show for late night television.

Camp TV producer, ADRIAN BOX directs the show and alternately steers and hampers the production with his outrageous hissy fits. Will Freddie complete the show for transmission?

A stunning array of acts are presented for your Saturday night entertainment, ensuring that you will have no idea as to what could take the stage next. This night of suprises will features appearances by:

KEN BONES - Controversial Northern comedian and star of the sucessfull tv show "Funny Fat b******s" will have you rupturing your colon with laughter at his one-liners, mother-in-law jokes etc.

VOODOO MICK - The renaissance man of cabaret. Whether he is engaging you all in a singalong of pop classics with his trusty guitar, demonstrating psychic skills or delivering one of the best tarot reading you'll ever have, Mick entertains at all times!

RIDING THE VALLKYRIE - combine all the best elements of opera with all the shocks and thrills of the traditional sideshow. At times, hauntingly beautiful, and at others downright frightening, this dark melodrama plays out to the music of composers such as Bizet and Verdi. Classically trained Nara Taylor sings seductively while Heavy Metal Pete provides the sideshow stunts and black humour.

In this show The Queen of the Night shows her wicked side, and comes to a very sticky end because of it. Starring Heavy Metal Pete as her lustful companion, she teases then spurns him, and sends him mad with love for her. In true opera style, he takes revenge on her with tragic results. This show includes sideshow classics such as walking on broken glass, the bed of nails, and a fire show (if possible).
Nara Taylor sings Stride La Vampa, Al Pano Moruno, The Habanera from Bizet's Carmen and Dido's Lament from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas."

THE SINGING DENTISTS - The musically gleaming, pearly-white pop combo will be delivering a set of oral delight guarranteed to leave you smiling. So make sure you brush up nicely!
