Cabaret lovers in search of some sizzling hot entertainment will be heading to The Ellington Jazz Club on Beaufort St to get their fix at the Ellington Burlesque and Cabaret Weekend.

The event will run from the 15th to 17th June 2018 and is shaping up to be a fun filled weekend featuring performances by the dynamic duo from The Great Debacle – none other than Carletta the Great and Charlie D Barkle. This time round they will be performing Tease Mania – a creation that has been inspired by Carletta’s time in the US where she spent time at historic music venues and fell in love with the era of the wild 60’s go go scene in Los Angeles.

WA Academy of Performing Arts alumni Charlie D Barkle (as "007") will also be in action as 007 starring alongside local singer and actress Erin Hutchinson to perform the James Bond classic “Shaken”.

Winner of the Ballarat Cabaret Award, nominated for Best Cabaret at Melbourne Fringe 2016, and Best Show at Newcastle Fringe 2018, the show will take the audience on a comedic ride of their lifetime reliving the last 56 years of “007” – themes, trivia, anecdotes and more.

Erin Hutchinson is well known for her performances at Perth Fringe where she starred in the award winning shows “Point & Shoot” and “What Doesn’t Kill You [blah blah] Stronger”.

It’s going to be one helluva of a weekend so don’t miss the action.
