Hastings Burlesque is all about challenging stereotypes and finding body confidence.

We spent an evening in the company of a fun-loving audience who were there to cheer on a troupe of performers made up of first-time novices through to seasoned professionals.

The downstairs venue in the White Rock Theatre was full of packed tables, and we clapped and smiled along with the best of them.

The feedback from the audience says it all:

“Great fun night! Fab value with classy and imaginative acts.”

Hostess and MC Alotta Piernas will soon be running a five-week beginner’s burlesque course where you can learn some classic burlesque moves and find your inner confidence.

Keep an eye on the Hastings Burlesque website for more details.

Don’t miss out on the next show where you can see Hastings’ rising Burlesque stars.

ELLiS·D Tioklu

All the way from Los Angeles, via Italy, France and the Netherlands, Vinyl Williams is bringing his neo-psychedelic celestial-pop sound to The Piper the April, for a set not to be missed as part of his 2024 European tour.

The grandson of legendary cinematic composer, John Williams, Vinyl Williams has six studio albums to draw on for his live shows... and his songs paint a dreamy and sensual soundscape of blissed-out and gently rocking delight.

Ellis.D - expect post-punk, krautrock and psychedelia to funk, art-rock and baroque pop

Tioklu - music from an out of time and ethereal realm which encompasses a kind of dream pop overflowing with psychedelia.
