Best clubs? Hmmmm - not sure I'm qualified to say if they are the best as I've only been to 5 clubs/places and watched Burlesque.
Two of the clubs/places will go down in history as events I wish I'd never ever been too. 'Nuff said.
In the midde is Appleby Burlesque - a small and intimate club night run by the talented Cherry Fox. The bar is great with plenty of assorted products to eat and drink. The reason for it being in the middle is down to me - I had to leave very early in the night and so only saw 3 and a half acts.
At the top end, and the places I love the most, are The Candy Box and The Cherry Pop Peep Show.
The Candy Box is a great place for live music acts, trying to cater for all tastes although I feel it leans more towards the USA style of Burlesque. This is the place to come to watch the big international stars.
The Cherry Pop Peep Show is a smaller and newer club which has a healthy following. All acts booked, like The Candy Box, are strong acts. To it's advantage the venue isn't as cramped as Candy Boxes home, the Glee. This event seems to have a stronger leaning towards the British style of Burlesque.
And finally off the list all together despite my attending it is my club, Silk Stocking Striptease Show. I can't rate my own show simply because I would find it unethical to do so. All I can say is that every performer did a good job and proved they had something to offer the scene. My club is also the only club to offer newbies stage time in Birmingham - although we balance the newbies with a strong line-up of more established talent.
On a side note: I foud this thread whilst looking for the one about Family Guy: Blue Harvest - I'm happy to report that said episode is on BBC3 tonight after Heroes.
Which is THE BEST club?
