This show is like stepping into a
Dinosaur’s arse. Dark, sweaty, breezy and slightly pleasing, come and meet the
crackpots trapped inside it!
A story that punches out variety
acts, eccentric characters, musical knobs, Ladies who lunge, comedy burlesque, vulgar verses and tales of bestiality at its best.
It’s all
linked together like smooth peanut butter through the fish eyes of Jackie and Sarah’s
lovingly hateful relationship as two less than mediocre musicians,
battling to climb to the
top of London’s alternative indie underground diluted popular music yawn.
So come and see Jackie and
Sarah’s band, Dirty Ecstasy, (featuring
Teddy the Drummer) and the entwined web of crazies they attract along the grim path of fame and
failure.
‘They are not a band, they are
music’ (NME)……..Miss it and you will…miss it!
