A bevy of burlesque in Night of the Blue Stockings

By Caroline King - November 23, 2012Posted in : Cabaret, Theatre

Night of the Blue Stockings at Jacksons Lane When: 30th November 2012 at 8.30pm

Where: Jacksons Lane, 269a Archway Road, London N6 5AA

What is it?

A bevy of burlesque and cabaret bad girls don their blue stockings to take over Jacksons Lane with an irreverent blend of humour and sass.

The Blue Stocking Society is a modern-day Women’s Institute for showgirls with personality, who like their satire with lashings of sauce and their striptease spiced with razor-sharp wit.  Inspired by the 18th century literary society of the same name, the 21st Century Bluestockings have been hosting their boisterous evenings of cabaret and burlesque for the last two years, to great acclaim.
