Over-18s burlesque, vaudeville and comedy revue with a glamorous cast, set in a world of old-time glamour and new-time wit.
Hundred Watt Club comes to The Arts Centre on Saturday 7 November, one of the longest-running burlesque revues in the UK. It's helmed by Lena Lenman, who hand-selects the cast for each show, so the line-up changes rather than staying the same from town to town.
As for what to expect, they bill it as a risqué, raunchy and ridiculous evening of burlesque, vaudeville and comedy, set in a world of old-time glamour and new-time wit. It's a variety night in the traditional sense, with the burlesque taking centre stage and comedy and vaudeville filling out the rest. The 'risqué' part is worth keeping in mind: they warn of strong language, adult themes, partial nudity and loud noises, and it's strictly for over-18s, so it's not one to bring the kids along to.
One of the things that sets it apart from a standard night out is the dress code. A glamorous, red-carpet style is encouraged, so if you've got something fancy in the wardrobe you've been waiting for an excuse to wear, this is a good spot for it. That said, it's not enforced, so you're just as welcome in your usual Saturday night gear.
