WINTER’S here, there’s no doubt about that, so what’s the best way to thaw out and then keep warm after a chilly week? Simple, have a hot night out, and they don’t come hotter than sultry club night Va Va Voom, at Electric Circus, the perfect venue for any performance-driven club night as the wide-open bar allows views of the stage from virtually any location.
Normally, Electric Circus is an uber-modern karaoke club bathed in state-of-the-art, mood-enhancing neon lighting - a cyber-disco in fact, with cosy booths and individually themed karaoke rooms. Tomorrow night, however, promises much more with a dream-billing which sees no fewer than four burlesque artists headlining the Va Va Voom Christmas Party. Inspired by decades of exotica, Miss Hell’s Belle, bring a touch of Hollywood glamour to the occasion, while the evening also marks the return of freak show starlet Missy Macabre, who was the rapturous star of the Electric Circus birthday bash this summer.
Also on the bill is Vendetta Vain, one of the UK’s most established burlesque artists, who promises to bring a sense of humour to proceedings with her vibrant, larger than life eccentric characters. Highly skilled burlesque revivalist Cherry Loco completes the bill, mixing her own very special blend of raunchy sexuality with hi-camp comic absurdity, no doubt raising a few eyebrows along the way.
Meanwhile, in the DJ booth, Dee and Cassavetes will be firing up the festivities with their mash ups of jump blues, northern soul, R&B, Motown, neo-cabaret and rockabilly.
So, bask in an eclectic mix of burlesque, dance, theatre and live performance that’s sure to leave you hot under the collar - even if it’s still below zero outside.
Va Va Voom @ Electric Circus, Market Street, tomorrow, 11pm-3am, £6 b4 midnight (£8 after), 0131-226 4224
