Piffle.....what a night!

On Sunday 7th November the TipTop Team went to the Glee Club in Birmingham to be the official photographers for 'Piffle' - a night of Dada inspired cabaret madness.....and what a night it was!

The event organiser, Ditzy Diamond put on the most amazing show - it was never in doubt that the event would be a huge success but I dont think the audience (TipTop included) realised what a great night was going to be had by all.

The night started off as every cabaret show should with the most amazing performance from Mister Joe Black.  As always Joe had the audience in fits of laughter and had everyones toes tapping to his tunes.  One lucky audience member got close to Joe in a way he wasn't expecting...underneath him!!  oh er!  Joe later went on to perform his infamous 'minstrel act'....genius pure genius!  Joe you rock!

Frayed Knott provided fantastic circus skills with Amelie Soleil eating razor blades whilst drinking red wine and later performing with partner Edd Muir in a dangerous but mesmerising whip act.

Beatrix von Bourbon sang her very catchy 'Milkshake' song - dam you Beatrix, that song is still going round in my head almost a week later...it was fab though!  Beatrix later did beat poetry showing she really can think on her feet about the most random subjects and turn them into poetry.... teabag anyone?

Khandie Khisses was completely mad but such a showgirl - two performances that teased the audience, especially the boys on the front row.  Khandie is certainly not to be missed if you get the opportunity to see her live.

Live music was played by Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers - to say I didnt stop smiling and singing along is an understatement.  I was so pleased when they announced you could by their CD in the half time break - the most random band I've seen but one of the best..... CHEESE!

Heather Sweet sang her little heart out as only a mermaid can....a very naughty mermaid at that.  Heather brings a sense of cuteness, comedy and naughtiness to any stage and she certainly didnt disappoint on Sunday night.

Cherry Darling, Drag Queen extraordinaire kicked off the second half with a bang.  I've never seen so many sequins and feathers on one stage.....that girl certainly knows how to work the audience and tease n please.  Lip Synching to Whitney Houston's Queen of the Night she wowed everyone.  Cherry Darling is by far the best Draq Queen I have had the pleasure of seeing.  She has a very cheeky smile, she knows what she wants and boy does she go out to get it.  Watch out boys....

Twinkel Pink spent all of her time up a pole...dancing.  Twinkel was the pre show entertainment and interval entertainment.  To look sexy on a pole is tricky enough but to do it for over an hour is just amazing.  Dressed in a tiny black number Twinkel showed the audience moves, bumps and grinds leaving them cheering for more.

The whole night was compared by the lovable Decadent Gent - Ditzy's partner in crime.  DG held the night together perfectly, he was cheeky, a little blue, entertaining and just overall fan blinkin tastic.

Last but by no means least... the show was stage managed by the wonderful Fey Tish - she really did pull everything together on the stage and made sure the show ran to perfection.

Ditzy Diamond you should be very proud of yourself...... pictures to follow!
