Dr Sketchy Liverpool

The first of our performers to be profiled is a rising star and local girl made good, or perhaps “local bad girl made good ”
First staggering bambi-legged and doe eyed onto the burlesque circuit in late 2009, it was immediately obvious Velma Von Bon Bon was destined for the top. Velma’s comedic style is a cheeky bottom flash at the stoics of society and her inventive antics have lit up stages across the northwest. She was awarded winner of the prestigious Tournament of Tease July heat, cementing her growing reputation while  proving what we’ve known for a while: that Velma brings something new and exciting to the burlesque world.

No wonder then that she has been shaking her booty in exotic locations as diverse as Leeds and Huddersfield!

If this pint sized pocket rocket can’t put I’ll smile on your face she’ll eat your hat!
When not burlesquing, Velma can be found fiddling on her purple fiddle with hottest all girl jazz band in town, the “Flamin’ Mamies”.

More performer profiles coming soon.

Sketchy people, we are now closing in on our very first event and here’s the last but not the least of our performers. The sassy Bella Besame

Bella Besame packs her  high energy  raunchy routines with stylish sass and she has a great ass.  Bella has been a lynchpin of the northwest burlesque scene for many years and is both a promoter, performer and teacher of burlesque.

When she isn’t travelling the country teaching ladies the art of the tease, running her fabulously successful Slippery Belle nights or dazzling audiences with her tassel twirling she can be found sipping chamagne and scoffing cheesecake!

Two weeks to go ladies and gentlemen, only two weeks to the first ever Dr Sketchy.

We here at Kinky Darling thought you would like to know a little more about our second performer the tattooed dream of the rockabilly scene Miss Scarlett Daggers.

A performer since 2005 and Co-Producer of Dr Sketchy Nottingham since 2009 Scarlett’s gentle ladylike elegance is matched with her red hot naughtiness and sizzling  charms.

Her stunning costumes encapsulate one of the tiniest waists in UK’s burlesque scene and with her boundless energy she whirls across the country in a flurry of glitter and broken hearts.

(Please note that kinky Darling can not be held responsible for any hearts broken patrons, our responsible for their own hearts.)

Hey there!

All our planning for the very first Dr Sketchy is sliding into place as smoothly as a Freudian allusion to sex. Tickets are flying out of the door, we have had a great surge of interest in the event and we have lots of information to share with you before the day.

So, to whet your whistle … here’s the first of our profiles of the performers you will be enjoying,  ladies, gentlemen, Sketchy People – I present …

Miss Ditzy Diamond

Ditzy is a quirky, curvy and some say insane burlesquer who has made the move from the shores of Australia to the UK stage. As an actress from a young age, Birmingham-based Ditzy is able to  blend traditional cheesecake with off-the-wall comedy.

She’s one of the fastest rising stars of the burlesque world and we are very lucky to have her!

You can find out a lot more about Ditzy on her website, that’s www.ditzydiamond.com , which is full of photos, videos and all that bloggy goodness that you need.

Or you could simply wait until you meet her in person, on the 25th of April at the Kazimier.
