Roll up our pretties! All the fun of the freaks is to be laid before you. Munchkins with white fluffy hair, songs that make you strip and dance in a public place at a public time, tangos of uncontrollably erotic beasts, songs of flatulence and songs people sing when people die.
Burlesque meets bar mitzvah as the four freakish strangers entertain with dark comedy and bizarreness to transport you to a different land.
Don't look into our eyes; No name loves fresh meat while listening to the intoxicating sounds of Trumpet and Glockenspiel by Sparrow and haunting jaunty music from Frans and Madam to transport you away from anything you have seen before.
Come see the obscure, freakish musical, hairy armed octopi, fork teethed men and talking vegetables all lead by an amazing singing bear.
........................‘This band are amazing…they make you smile, wonder and watch in Green eyed envy that you didn’t think of doing this first. Madam Laycock and her Dabeno pleasures unleash a tyrant of full hearted passionate songs of debauched pleasures!’

This is your first chance to catch our new show - come along!
The Carriageworks, Leeds, Thursday 5 & Friday 6 June, 8PM
Chloe has tracked down long-lost brother Richard. only trouble is, Richard has no idea who she is. He was washed up on a beach twenty years ago, with no memory of where he came from.
Together they must face family ghosts, a set of faded newspaper clippings and an ill-fated visit to the seaside.
Part mesmirising thriller, part tender reflection on the meaning of home, this is a new play about what happens when everything you know turns out to be wrong.
Hey you talented and gorgeous treasures love the music you put on and hope to catch you at one of your gigs soon... Hope also to make shapes with you on the lady poof dance floor on 6th June much love M.M. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have you ever walked past Opal 1 & said, 'you know what that looks like noah's arc!' Well I do & now it does look like this:
Took me ages that, but it's true to the creationist perspective & 6,000 year old earth (dinosaurs in the hull etc) I got one printed A3 colour, it looks mental like athena image except better, could be a wicked poster in a few years time if I ever get out of this poverty!
Looking forward to seeing you girls week tomorrowm, ,should be ace!
