Chastity Belt
The First Lady of Frivolity.
One of the UK’s most beloved cabaret artistes; Chastity has been whipping audiences into shape across the country and beyond for nearly a decade, and doesn’t intend to stop any time soon!
A powerhouse of a singer with a razor-sharp wit, she really is the thinking man's crumpet and the crumpet man's thinker. As her name suggests, she can belt with the best of them and has been doing so in some of the top cabaret venues in London and around the country. Including Cafe de Paris, Gin House Burlesque, Proud, Bunga Bunga, Phoenix Arts club, Crazy Coqs, RVT, Cellar Door and her shower room in South London. She has even compered for the Queen of Burlesque herself; Dita Von Teese.
Like every modern woman, she extols the virtues of forward-thinking and gin-drinking, but will happily drop it all for a prospective husband with a beard and strong shoulders. When not being a Mistress of Mirth, she can be found acting, directing, writing and teaching across the capital.
​
Chastity's inner self is a trained actress and singer who has been performing for the best part of 20 years. She appeared in 'Stepping Out' on London's West End and it is these skills, honed over many years that make her one of the best hosts in London and the UK. She is reliably charismatic enough to get even the most stoic of audience members chuckling.
​
Well-versed in the corporate events world too, Chastity has hosted formal events and parties for Google, The Ivy, LinkedIn and 20th Century Fox, to name a few.
We can't wait for you to meet her!

Didi Derriere
A born entertainer and maven of all things glamorous, Didi exhilarates and enthrals every audience that is charmed enough to meet her.
Since she exploded onto the London Burlesque scene in 2015, she has delighted in fashioning acts in a variety of genres and moods. From her seductive Fan Dances to her deliciously authentic New Orleans 20’s Bump and Grind she has grown into quite the creative chameleon. Her iconic Madonna tribute would have you fooled into thinking you had booked Madge herself!
A professionally trained dancer, her exquisite acts are polished to perfection, and executed to the highest of standards every time. From the raise of an eyebrow to a sky-high kick, every move exudes class and sass.
Sashaying across stages in the UK and Europe, Didi is resident in many of the capital’s top Burlesque spots. She has become a firm favourite of the cabaret community, both on and offstage, finding a home in the hearts of producers and burlesque connoisseurs alike.
