Miss Behave, one of the only two female sword swallowers in the world AND the Guinness world record holder for multiple sword swallowing! She has been described as Betty Boop meets Marlene Dietrich and when she appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno she was “Amazing!” The Times called her "A true highlight of the Cabaret scene" and Liza Minelli said that she is simply a "Great Act!"

| Paloma Faith is one of the super stars of the burlesque cabaret and London art scene. She is an amazing Billie Holiday-style vocalist who uses singing as part of a bigger performance. With her Betty Page looks she often teases the audience in to believing that she will do a striptease and ends up wowing them instead with her amazing vocal talent. Not only is she beautiful she has very commanding stage presence and is a great compere. She loves nothing better than a bit of cheeky banter with the audience. |
