Burlesque comes to Burslem

Is Stoke-on-Trent finally coming out of the dark ages when it comes to culture?

For a city better known for its closeness to the cultural hubs of Manchester and Birmingham rather than its own venues and events, a successful Burlesque night at the Leopard Hotel in Burslem shows there is demand for more exotic entertainment.

Scarlet Fever's first event was by turns risque, saucy and even mildly shocking - but in a good way.

More importantly, the fact that it sold out shows with another show to come in December shows that decent entertainment will sell. See The Sentinel review here
