Come Friday, I'm taking off to Europe, to do a big giant tour of all things Sketchy on the continent.
Thanks to the saints who run Dr. Sketchy's Glasgow and Dr. Sketchy's London, we've got all sorts of exciting things lined up.
So, without further ado...
Dr. Sketchy's Takes Europe (Part One- UK edition)

Edinburgh High Tease - Saturday 9th August 2008
Ministry of Burlesque in association with Bizarre Magazine & Rhymes with Purple present Edinburgh High Tease featuring “Battle of Burlesque” Time: 8.30pm - late, £15 stbf. An uproarious evening of tremendously witty, dangerously frisky and oddly eccentric antics and acts handpicked from the festival’s hottest stars and London’s premier circles.

with special guests
Thursday 7th - US Burlesque star Kitten on the Keys, Friday 8th - Molly Crabapple – Founder of ‘Dr Sketchy’s Anti-Art School’ & performer extraordinaire! Saturday 9th - Pustra and Vile-een – London’s most talked about Vaudeville duo and stars of “The Devil May Drag You Under”.
Hosted by the King of lyrical carnage, Mr. Desmond O’Connor (winner of best lyricist in the 2007 MTM:UK Fringe Awards), with international burlesque stars, sirens of stage and an assortment of nostalgic musical treats, the show is guaranteed to tickle more than just your fancies. Amidst the choreographed mayhem and magic, there will be a prestigious contest – “Battle of Burlesque” – brought to you by glossy weird-world favourite, Bizarre Magazine, who are searching for wacky and inspiring people to battle it out onstage for supremacy and prizes, including an appearance at the Bizarre Ball, London set for 10th October.
This event will be filmed for MoB and Bizarre Magazine use.

August 10th- The Dr. Sketchy's Glasgow 1st Birthday Bash!
In order to celebrate a year of success, Dr Sketchy Glasgow will be holding a birthday party on August 10th at The Arches.
We'll have our usual session from 4-7pm but to make it a little special, we'll have a live band and our headlining model will be none other than our illustrious leader, Molly Crabapple who couldn't resist coming over to help us celebrate.
Joining Molly on stage, our second model will be San Francisco cabaret star Kitten on the Keys. But that's not all! When the art is over, the dancing begins; Dr Sketchy Glasgow will invite all our Art Monkeys to join us for a party of decadent delights that would make Caligula blush.
As well as swinging tunes and cocktails, we'll have burlesque performances from every model that has appeared for us over the last year! That list includes some of the top names in UK burlesque; Missy Malone, Leyla Rose, Daiquiri Dusk, Lucille Burn, Vendetta Vain, Sakura Tsui, Cat Aclysmic and many more – it's a line-up that would be nearly impossible to book for any other event.
