HERES WHERE I'M PERFORMING NEXT
AND HERE'S WHERE I'VE BEEN!
IN THE BIOPIC OF FRANKIE HOWERD STARRING DAVID WALLIAMS - AIRED IN APRIL ON BBC4
About me: Howdy Folks! Well, here I am! Two years hard labour with just a spoon and Shawshank for inspiration, I'm fresh out of the slammer and ready to show the world some razzle-dazzle Crimson style!!
I've been crawlin' and diggin' and damn near broke a nail but I managed to claw my way through unspeakables to finally see the sky with my own two eyes again and THANK THE LORD! (Although I have a sneaky suspicion He may have had something to do with my incarceration in the first place - gettin on the wrong side of a man of the cloth, believe me, is not advisable!)
I'm ramblin.....please do excuse me. I've been bustin out onto the Burlesque scene in London .....with ulitmate ambition to take over the world, but first things first.
I have a partner in crime although not too sure 'partner' is entirely accurate - we're hardly on equal terms but Ed always shows up and acts real professional...again, 'act' being a mighty loose description!
Apart from Patsy Cline's 'CRAZY', I also sing 'YOUR CHEATIN HEART' (I do have a heart but will not incriminate myself by sayin whether it's Ed's or someone else's). I would say that this act is a mixture of Patsy Cline and Silence of the Lambs.
My signature routine is 'FOXEY LADY' - a striptease using Jimi Hendrix's song of the same name. It has been described to me as "Jessica Rabbit meets Austin Powers". I hasten to add that the person who described it, no longer has the power of natural speech!
I also cover the old Peggy Lee classic 'FEVER'. However I do not sing it in the traditional fashion. My glam Pirate striptease to Bobby Darin's 'SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SEA' went down a storm at the 2007 BESTIVAL in the Time for Tease tent. 'SAD OLD RED' - this is a more traditional burlesque striptease - photo's of which are below. Another of the stranger routines to hit the streets is my striptease to 'ONE STEP BEYOND' by Madness' (go figure!). And a recent favourite on the fetish scene is my lunatic nurse routine using music from THE CRAMPS and ROBERT PALMER!
I also devised and coreographed a Balloon Pop routine and an Aerosmith Biker routine using their cover of Roadrunner for 'Tease With A Twist' - the show I took to Edinburgh in 2007.....is there no end to my talent?! ;)
I've performed my, um, 'unique' acts at Jo King's NAUGHTY BUT NICE at Volupte AFTERNOON TEASE for the Teasemaids at Volupte and at this years BESTIVAL SHALL I BE MOTHER at the Hilton Metropole - Brighton Volupte - A NIGHT OF LAMOUR SKA BURLESQUE at Dirty South and also the Montague Arms HIP HIP & OH MY GOD I MISS YOU at Bethnal Green Working Mens Club FESTIVAL OF SINS at The Purple Turtle STRIPLITE at the Horse And Groom HULABOOGIE at London South Pacific TRAILERPUSSY at The Purple Turtle - Camden THE SLIPPERY BELLE in Po Na Na - Manchester. And recently I've been quite a regular at the Soho Review Bar (the old Raymond Review) for HURLYBURLY and LONDON BURLESQUE FESTIVAL _ UK SHOWCASE RICHARD N JUDY on CHANEL 4! The EDINBURGH FESTIVAL at the EICC in 2007
And recently I starred alongide David Walliams in the BBC4 biopic of Frankie Howerd - keep your eyes peeled in the Spring 08 schedule. Check out the calendar below for future gigs.
To find out more about my routines, you'll have to see them or get in touch at crimson_skye@btinternet.com. I'm available to hire for parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs and funerals ;)
Anyway, as the old saying goes, pictures speak louder'n words so feel free to check them out. Ttfn Crimson xxxxx
