London

Social club
Cave of the Golden Calf
A who’s who of alternative performance stars in this avant-garde cabaret: Empress Stah; velvet-voiced accordion player Marni Rice; Scottee’s Elephant Man; alt-drag star Ryan Styles; La Celine; and San Francisco’s Suppositori Spelling, with Andrew Brown as MC. Dark, surreal and funny.
Assembly, Aug 2-26.

Of All the Cheek
Mysti Vine, Lady Beau Peep and Crimson Skye are three of London’s best-loved burlesque starlets and they’re promising booze and plenty of half-naked ladies in a tongue-in-cheek, raunchy and slightly bizarre show that repeatedly sold out Volupte in recent weeks.
Venue One Hundred & Fifty at EICC, Aug 1-26.

The Vaudeville
Dusty Limits, dark prince of cabaret, hosts an unpredictable variety show full of jugglers, burlesque showgirls, magicians, stand-ups and general mind-bending strangeness. Think 1920s Berlin smack-bang in the middle of Edinburgh.
The Bongo Club, every Sun-Thur, Aug 5-26.
