Anna Fur Laxis is a full-time Superhero Hausfrau whose superpowers entail constantly getting into scrapes for which the only solution is to take off her clothes.. Generally found with a cup of Earl Grey tea in one hand and a French Fancy in the other, her interests include adding to her portfolio of housewifely skillz and mincing around in rubber and pencil skirts. Or rubber pencil skirts.
"More than mortal man deserves, Anna's timeless beauty and saucy antics evoke a classic era of unashamed femininity, whilst her stunning performances and innovative costumes leave no doubt that we are most certainly in the 21st century." Dr. Brad E. Cardia
Cellist, singer, serial killer … a reclusive aristocrat with a penchant for Rohypnol: less ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’, more ‘Mac the Knife in a tight corset’. From the highest echelons of British Society comes a darkly comic set of beautifully gruesome songs and hilariously murderous musings.

By day Betty is a housewife while husband Brian works to take care of the whippets and pidgens - by night - Betty likes nothing more than a gin and tonic as she works as a bingo assistant at Big Balls Bingo Emporium.
Here the lovely Betty hands out the odd boiled sweet and some good old fashioned Yorkshire advice as she hands out her bingo tickets - for a game of bingo - with a twist....
Live vintage tones from T.C. and the Swingcats playing jumpin' swing from the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Em Brulèe is a cabaret chanteuse, performing with panache and sophistication the classic jazz, blues and show melodies of a past era that brought us ‘divas’ such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington.
This burlesque gem fans the flames of desire from under her sumptuous triple layer fans. Ruby was raised the free range way running wild in the foothills of the sprawling mountains of Wales and this fiery red headed Welsh Rarebit certainly knows how to cook up a storm!
