This full-on, downtown New York-style show features the raunchiest, raciest and riskiest burlesque in the world! Compèred by the sleazy Mel Frye – a "father" to all of the girls – with London’s cabaret legend and New York City’s favourite English gent, Des O’Connor. Bunny Love brings you all the grace of a Warhol Superstar, Harvest Moon elegantly defies the laws of physics, Pinkie Special gets very personal, Tigger won't let you forget, Nasty Canasta will make you see it her way, Madame Rosebud dares you to try, and Camillicious keeps it real.

"You'll never see a better burlesque show anywhere else in the world unless our girls are there."

The Slipper Room, located in the Lower East Side in New York City, is home to Mr Choade's Upstairs/Downstairs; the longest running burlesque show in New York City. At Last Year's “New York Burlesque Festival”, Des O'Connor hatched the plan to bring a hardcore NYC burlesque show kicking and screaming into the heart of London. “New York's Finest” sees this dream come true in London’s atmospheric venue, the Last Days of Decadence.

Des O’Connor was voted as "Finest lyricist of the burlesque scene" in Bizarre Magazine’s top 10 British burlesque stars. Des has enraptured audiences internationally with his renowned musical comedy: his bittersweet lyrics and insanely catchy melodies never fail to shock, charm and entertain.

Bunny Love is the glittery goddess of New York City's downtown burlesque scene. At her shows you may see a screening of one of her dark but hilarious short films or hear her naked rock band, NUDE! This show at Last Days of Decadence will mark her London première!

Coined 'The Monty Python of Burlesque' by Julie Atlas Muz, Pinkie Special is a burlesque superstar who has dazzled audiences across the United States and Canada. Pinkie is a Go-Go, Burlesque and Hula-Hoop Tart with a healthy serving of glee. Come see for yourself, what makes Pinkie so Special.

...and more! Hope to see you there!
