new webpage up

ladies and gentlemen,

it is with great pleasure we announce the presence of a sexy new page with updates of all things cabarettish. check us out on www.myspace.com/thewhatworks to catch up with what’s going on. here’s a little to whet your appetites:

coming up on the 15th may is Patsy’sChildMare@THEWHATWORKS, a deep dark delving into the toy box of discarded dolls that raised and crazed Patsy when she was only whee.

Chrisalys (http://www.chrisalys-circus.com/) returns with his human pain extravaganza, this time in the guise of Pierrot the clown.

Chrisalys Human Pain Doll

Inua Ellams (http://www.phaze05.com/) will take us tripping down childhood streets with magical realism and tales of early nerd-hood.

Inua the Bandit

Liberdad, the hanging clown from MusicalMoments@THEWHATWORKS will be showcasing a reworking of his heart-stopping epic

Liberdad

and of course there’ll be a little Patsying around. this time she’s turning through the song books of the great ladies of jazz, accompanied by her very wonderful G-String

Patsy's G-String

there will be a sneak preview showcasing elements of this show at a secret location in Stoke Newington on Friday 8th May, only a very few spaces available so contact us here for the chance to come.

in the meantime, snuggle up tight and enjoy your childmares…

champagne kisses,

Patsy and crew

Patsy'sChildMare

where the hell you been?

time, my dearies, has escaped me. and what reason can there be for remaining hushed for so long?

ScumBagBillionaires has come and gone – our own little storm in a chai cup. we raised, in the end, over £500 for DIKSHA, thanks to the generosity of all involved – the magnificent munificent CosmoBar, as ever; the acts who contributed their payments; and our inimitable guests who bid handsomely on all of our fabulous prizes: tailor-made poetry from Shane Solanki, the Last Mango man; tickets to Anil Desai’s blinding show; a dance course in Bhangraton (oh yes it’s true) from Element Dance; and a night on the town with THEWHATWORKS’ unhinged diva hostess, Patsy Cole. this last is yet to come, and rest assured we shall be teasing dear Pats into telling y’all all about it.

and now we are mixing up more mayhem with Patsy’sChildMare in May – there will be a Human Pain Drag Doll, a Toilet-Dangling Clown, Burlesque from the Grotesque side of town, Patsy, dear Patsy, telling tales of her precocious sexual proclivities, a word-weaving Fairy Godmother, and much more magic besides.

design is being taken care of by a hotly coming film-maker (for the first time we will not have to rely upon the extravagant arrangement of heaps of Patsy’s old knickers), who is obsessed with gruesome broken dolls. of course there will be the live mixing of tunes and visuals as ever, and, as you have come to expect of us, some strange surprise. 8pm. CosmoBar. Friday 15th May.

you’d be twisted to miss it. you’ll be twisted if you’re there.

meantime other advertures are afoot. read more in the next post. this is a whole nother venture….. or, more correctly, a whole nother two.

warmest wishes and champagne kisses – more of them than ever.

Patsy’s Bestest Friends
