On Tuesday, October 11th, Soiree Debauche will descend upon Gallery 5 as the kickoff event for the fifth annual Carnival Of 5 Fires, to deliver an evening of vaudeville, burlesque and music that will include an all-star line-up of talent, style and pure debauchery! Revel in hypnotic sounds, sideshow antics, vaudeville tricks, sinister singing, and over-the-top costumes with enough macabre to make Edgar Allen Poe smirk.
The all-star lineup includes Baltimore’s Sicilian Princess and founder of Gilded Lily Burlesque in Baltimore, Maria Bella; burlesque barber and co-founder of Gilded Lily Burlesque, Little Luna; Washington, D.C.’s own sideshow girl and member of The Accidental Circus and The Cheeky Monkey Sideshow, Mab, Just Mab; vaudevillian mastermind of The Tilted Torch from D.C., Malibu; New Orleans firecracker from Slow Burn Burlesque, Nona Narcisse; The Mezmer Society accordionist and singer from Asheville, NC, August Hoerr; Richmond’s very own travelling musician, and member of the famous Slomski Brothers and MC of Gilded Lily Burlesque, Mark Slomski--plus, joining him, a rare gathering of amazing musicians on ukulele, steel drum, guitar, bass, and accordion, who will combine to form The Slomski Family Band! Sexy stage kittens Lauren Marleaux and Bitsy Buttons will be adding their own dark and dirty flavor to the mix. On the whole, this cast flaunts an impressive list of talents! Something wicked this way comes, so prepare yourself for the debauchery!
