A Forties Dame

FAQs

Do you bring all of your own equipment?
Yes, I come by car and can provide a full PA system, vintage mic and radio mic for the cabaret sets. 

What does the guide price include?
It includes 30 minutes of background music (if required), 2x30-40 minutes of cabaret (or 1 hour straight) and 30 minutes of music in between sets and after, if needed. It also includes providing all of my own equipment. Should you have a PA system already the price would be less. 

Do you offer a selection of outfits?
Yes I have a selection of vintage 1940s style dresses as well as American uniforms such as WASP overalls and Nurses Corp (see pictures).

Can you play 1940s music before, after and between sets?
Absolutely I have a fantastic selection of music.

Can you perform with a live band?
Oh yes and they are fantastic. I usually perform with a 4 piece but do have a larger band if necessary. Please ask for a quote. 

Is your show interactive?
Yes my show is based around comedy and audience interaction, I like to meet and interact with everyone in the room as much as possible and get them totally involved in the show. It is very much a comedic cabaret act as well as me singing fabulous songs from the 1940s.

Do you do requests?
Yes, providing the song is from the era I am happy to learn a song of your choice or 'pick on' a specific member of your group to serenade.

What do I need to provide? 
All I need is access to power and an area to set up my equipment as well as a car parking space. If it is an evening performance, a hot meal would be most welcome. 

Are you a family friendly act?
The act is very cheeky, depending on the audience but if you let me know whether children will be at your event I can tailor it a little more to them and make it less risque.

Are we able to use your equipment for speeches?
On most occassions this is fine, but this would have to be arranged in advance and may incur an additional charge.
