Underbelly Festival

Every city welcomes the unique, eccentric and unconventional. London is especially no stranger to this. The Amazing Blog appreciates the unusual and fun events that the city puts on, and this programme is no exception. Over the past decade, the Southbank has hosted the Underbelly Festival, and it’s back this summer for another wild experience. Until the end of September, you can purchase tickets to attend live circus, comedy, cabaret and family entertainment. 

Join the live entertainment this month, accompanied by international food and drink, right on the banks of the Thames. Prepare to have your mind blown, according to Time Out, with the showgirls of the House of Burlesque. The provocative performance will have you singing and dancing along with their soundtrack and sing-alongs. Come and celebrate their 7th year performing on the Southbank!  On until 27th September, you can purchase a ticket here for £21.00. The show lasts about 80 minutes.

After you’ve witnessed the revolutionary movement of the House of Burlesque, attend Europe’s most prestigious Burlesque competition, Burlesque Idol 2018. In its 9th year, the competition has produced starlets from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Paris and America. At the event, guests will be greeted by showgirls and given a ballot to vote on their favourite contestant. Help the judges pick the next Burlesque Idol by purchasing tickets here for £21.00.

Next up on the lineup, is cabaret with The Raspberry Cannoli Cabaret and Marcel Lucont’s Cabaret Fantastique. For one night only, on the 19th September, the talented group, Raspberry Cannoli Cabaret will be performing. Tickets can be purchased here from £21.00. Don’t miss out on headliners such as Ray Gelato and the Giants who have played for H.M. Queen, Sir Paul McCartney and Richard Branson. If you can’t make it on the 19th, don’t fret! Marcel Lucont’s Cabaret Fantastique will have shows this month. You can purchase tickets here from £17.00.

Most shows range from £21.00 or less! Find out about the other exciting events happening at the Underbelly Festival. There is something for everyone!

Time For Tease

At The Amazing Blog we love featuring events and places our lovely readers could go to on the weekends. When we found out about a British afternoon tea with the glamour of burlesque and cabaret, we knew we had to feature Time For Tease.

It all began back in 2006 with Afternoon Tease! at Voluptéin London’s Chancery Lane – the perfect venue for Time for Tease to go and play. The very first Afternoon Tease! was fully booked and continues being as successful nowadays.

Afternoon Tease! is now one of the UK’s longest running and most famous burlesque events and remains the original and best teatime revue of its kind. If you’d like to experience Time For Tease for yourself, it happens on the first and third Saturday of the month and on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at Volupté. Afternoon tea (sándwiches, scones and homemade cakes) as well as the burlesque show and a glass of fizz for £42 per person.

The Amazing Blog recommends the Time For Tease experience for sure – a perfect tea experience and a burlesque show. What’s not to like?

Proud Cabaret Camden

All too often clubs in London are painfully similar, complete with strobe lights, sticky dance floors and the same songs on repeat. So if you’re like me, you’re always up for trying something new and most importantly fun. So if you’re looking for an extravagant and glamorous night, The Amazing Blog has found the place for you. Always an area for innovation and creativity, it should come as no surprise that Camden has got itself a new gallery and music venue: the Proud Cabaret Camden. This new performance space has recently been revamped, and oozes the sophistication of legendary Cabaret clubs.

The recently renovated space is seamlessly decorated with blood red velvet curtains, gold chandeliers, silk balloon lanterns, and a 30 ft hand painted gold trellis; the perfect setting for an evening of luxury. This truly lavish venue is host to a variety of different acts from the UK and beyond, exclusive to the Proud Cabaret. With all sorts of acts performing acts ranging from scandalous to touching, at Proud Camden you can be sure to find something that takes your fancy.

The Proud Cabaret Camden is one of many Proud Cabarets across the UK, with locations in Brighton and the City. Founder Alex Proud is one of the leaders of the Cabaret scene across the UK, and is dedicated to giving audiences an authentic and unique experience. So if you want a break from the norm and an evening of opulence, head down to the Proud Cabaret, you won’t be disappointed.
