Pleasure experts. Escapism as only Club Noir knows how.  With more stars than there are in heaven.

DJ Loveless and DJ Screaming Wheels play vintage and modern music.

Two shows full of classic burlesque and vintage cabaret.  Striptease, live music and variety acts inspired by American Vaudeville, and the Ziegfeld Follies. Scene-stealing performers, crystal-encrusted showgirls, covetable costumes, femme fatales and suave men.

All presented by Compere Daddy Single resplendent in white top hat and coat.

Party Girl – Socialite Chelsea Dagger gets the party going. This is the girl the world-wide hit song was named after. She’s a helluva party all contained in one woman, adorned with champagne, party poppers, decorations, music and dance.

Gypsy Rose Lee The most famous burlesque stripteaser of them all.  The sashaying, strutting legend played by Tina Warren who claims to be her reincarnation since she was born the day after Gypsy died.

Songstress Lou Hickey- Recently crowned Scotland’s Most Eligible Woman, supported the likes of Martha Wainwright and Suzanne Vega, Scotland with Style’s “Most Stylish Musician”.

Balloons – By leading Soloist ballet dancer, Luke Amour. A body carved out of rock and more camp than the Liberace fan club.

Saltire Sweetheart – Katie Crossbones’ flies our flag with a ravishing blue and Swarovski crystal costume

Donald Where’s Yer Troosers – boylesque by Oliver Twisted. Reprising the 1961 hit song by Andy Stewart.  Hilarious.

Camp America New York Gay disco through the decades.  By duo Ballet Blue with stage presence bigger than a Dynasty shoulder pad.

Fetish – the ultimate rubber fetish.  Overwhelming smother love.

Flag wave dance – by Richard Lyons.

Mule Train Lunatic singing cowboy from old timer Arthur Entwhistle.  Gather round the campfire to hear his song of life on the Wild West trail.

Air Hostess – you’re in safe hands with this sexy stewardess. If you like BBC’s Pan Am you’ll love this retro purser who will take the audience on a journey they’ll never forget.

Tainted Love – rockabilly version of this song sung by a beautiful woman.

Wild Highland Warrior Woman – a rousing and arousing battleaxe from centuries gone by.  Spine-tingling skirmish music.

Dress up.  You’re the stars of the night.

And God Created Woman

Sunday 18th March 4 p.m.

At the Grosvenor Cinema

With the Stunning Brigitte Bardot

This also happens to land on Mothers Day – so a nice way to treat your mama, for a girlie day out.

Director Roger Vadim

Cast – Brigitte Bardot

France 1956

Set in the south of France, this is the film that sparked the craze for St Tropez. Carefree Brigitte Bardot is the original sex kitten. She is perfect from her bouffant blonde hair to her petite tanned foot.  And those lips – ooh la la.  Trust me – if you don’t like subtitled films, give this one a chance.  Brigitte pouts and seduces throughout this sun-drenched film. Causing sexual carnage between brothers and a yacht-owning millionaire.  A free spirit who loves animals and children.  I guarantee you will fall in love with Brigitte and the film that sparked many copycat blondes from Claudia Schiffer to Kylie (sunbathing behind a white sheet etc);  and caused outrage in USA and the Catholic Church.

I for one cannot wait to see BB on a giant screen.  See a snippet here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnUZW1fcE44

The film will be preceded by a brief  talk from Club Noir owner Ian Single relating to an amusing anecdote whilst working with Brigitte Bardot in the ‘70s.

An opportunity to dress up.  BB is a fashion icon so you may well be inspired by her. Ballet flats, Capri pants, gingham, kohl rimmed eyes, 22 inch waist, skinny jeans, cute cardigans, white trench coats, minimal jewellery, striped T-shirts, big hair, a golden tan.  Whatever you do – no fur, she is a huge animal lover with her own animal welfare charity, The Brigitte Bardot Foundation.

Make a special treat of your day – try out their specially-created Cherry Noir cocktail up in the Grosvenor Café. Or make an event of it with the burlesque themed offer of delicious food from the Small Plates menu, Cherry Noir and your ticket for jus £17.

Club Noir Valentine

Saturday Night at the Movies

Saturday 11th February

O₂ Academy Glasgow

www.clubnoir.co.uk

Two burlesque shows full of romance and movie magic.  Escapism as only Club Noir knows how.  More stars than there are in heaven.  A veritable Tinseltown of Blonde Bombshells, B-Movie Babes, Sweater Girls and Hollywood Heartthrobs.

DJ Loveless and DJ Poprock play vintage, modern and film-inspired music.

Live Music from The Mosa Funk Club. Taking inspiration from the greats – Brown, Mayfield, Clinton – but with a deconstructed, destroyed, mashed up and rebuilt take on funk that’s decidedly this century.

This is not just “couplestastic”. Don’t worry if you’re coming on your own – Club Noir is mega-friendly.

VJ Emlyn and his Silver Screen

Photographers.  And no camera restrictions for clubbers as long as it’s not a professional camera.

Easy-to-view stage. 700+ seats. Lots of bars. Champagne bar.

Chill-out room screening films.

Dress up.  Act out your own star quality.  Anything goes. From Betty Boop and Bette Davis to Dragon Tattoos and Twilight.  Your weapons of mass seduction.   No jeans or trainers.

BURLESQUE SHOWS

Film Noir – 1940s femme fatale Morgan Le Faye on a ‘seduce and destroy’ mission.  Mr Mundane as the handsome gangster.

Marilyn Monroe Fashion Show - Gorgeous latex fashion house Anatomic Bomb unveils its new collection, recreating screen Goddess Marilyn Monroe’s most famous dresses. Modelled by a bevy of sex kittens.  There’s no business like showgirl business.

Russ Meyer Vixen - Busty babes kicking ass to a ‘60s soundtrack. All with a jaw-dropping Club Noir trademark twist. Wait and see.

Cruella De Vil - Disney baddy, voted one of the top movie villains of all-time.  Leading Lady Tina Warren is smothered in furs with a lavish, evil costume. Woof!

Cheek to Cheek - Performers with star quality – Oliver Twisted and Chelsea Dagger dance to this wonderful Fred and Ginger number.  This could well be the anthem of the night

Heaven, I’m in Heaven
And the cares that hang around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek

Luke Amour – dancer with movie star looks.

Bare Necessities – Daddy Single

Carry on Screaming - British comedy at its lowbrow best.  Bungling Victorian Constable Slobotham is turned to jelly when faced with voluptuous Valeria.  Vanity Kills, with the classic Hollywood looks, dons the beautiful red velvet dress, an exact replica from the film.

Love Themes - Lou Hickey and Jonathan Carr singe a melody of movie love themes.

Dear Mr Gable - The devilishly charismatic Clark Gable, Hollywood’s “The King”, has endured the test of time – and is featured on our poster.  Katie Crossbones, with her own movie star looks wearing lovingly preserved 1930s lingerie, depicts a star struck victim of Hollywood’s Golden Age.  Whilst a montage of Clark plays on our big screen.

Cinema Usherette – Sienna Heart wants her big break from selling ice cream to joining the stars up there on the big screen.  Well … Lana Turner was discovered drinking a shake at Schwabs Drugstore so dreams do come true in Hollywoodland.

Affair at Maxims - A Parisian bon vivant exacts revenge on his flirting mistress.  Scene from the 1958 film Gigi that won best film Oscar.  Bubbling vintage fizz.

Irving Klaw – the  sensational 1950s films your granddaddy bought under the counter.  Lacey Demure and Morgan Le Faye as the celluloid, suspender-clad sexbombs.
