The recent revival of Burlesque shows no sign of slowing down, as the Ministry of Burlesque returns to Croydon for the second time in five months.

Kitty Klaw, Gipsy Charms and Vicky Butterfly are all bringing the company's popular brand of entertainment to the Clocktower next week and are sure to dazzle audiences with their tassels and Dita Von Teese style dresses.

Gypsy Charms, the UK's foremost expert in Striptease, will be hosting a workshop on Monday and Tuesday night leading budding burlesquers on a whirlwind tour of the art form before the company combine their sell-out High Tease Revue show with bits from their Victorian Diaries in a celebration of the traditional variety show on Wednesday night.

“People should have a go as they get a sense of freedom and fun from it,” said Klaw, who is more commonly known as founder of the company Kirsty Allan.

"It is unlike anything you would ever have done before and you can be anything you want to be, a man playing a woman or a woman playing a man, you can even be an animal, anything at all.

"Each act is a spectacle and offers a sense of fun – whether that’s coquettish sass, sultry sex appeal, musical comedy or bawdy satire.”
