Burlesque isn't not seedy, you don't need a special license and it's more about humour, style and the dancers having fun than anything else.<BR/>There's also a local promoter putting on Ska Burlesque nights.<BR/>My advice is let the council know that we don't want strip joints in New Cross and if the landlord has any sense he'll attract custom in other ways i.e. redecorate, provide good food, put on decent bands and if you want saucy try burlesque.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-75344722782449721632008-07-30T15:55:00.000+00:002008-07-30T15:55:00.000+00:00The context you point out of the crisis in British...The context you point out of the crisis in British pubs is crucial.
