The Hastings Haus of Gorgeous has chosen our stunning venue for its debut shows on Friday 6th and Sunday 8th August.
With two shows produced by local burlesque performer Pupin DeVert (aka Judith VanDepeer), each night will screen a feature film, followed by a live showcase presenting the cream of local Hastings talent. Be prepared to be blown away by your local Kings, Queens and everything in between!
Friday 6th August: Drag Night
Film: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
A gender-queer punk-rock singer from East Berlin tours the US with her band as they tell their life story and follows the former lover/band-mate who stole their songs.
Hedwig is the “internationally ignored song stylist” and this highly original rock-opera is described by its writer/director/star as a “perennial, modern Sound of Music or Wizard of Oz” - but made, more specifically, “for the weirdos.”
Live performances by:
- Paris Grande
- Heather Duster
- King Crimson
- Mother Demdike
- Kikiara
Sunday 8th August: Burlesque/Cabaret Night
Film: Dirty Martini and the New Burlesque

Spearheading the New Burlesque revival in New York City and all over the world, she has become an underground celebrity and a favorite of the original legends of burlesque who performed in the 1940s and 1950s. Her audiences have given her rave reviews for her ground-breaking, stereotype-busting and innovative performances as well as her tributes to the legends of classic burlesque.
This documentary follows Dirty Martini as she reveals some of the secrets of burlesque in nightclubs and cabarets in New York's Off-Off Broadway.
