As you all know I produced my first show as Appleton Productions on 11th December. It was held on a Wednesday night and was a rip roaring success! Following the hit that was my first show the second show took place on Thursday 20th February back at The Tea Bar. Once again I turned The Tea Bar in The Tease Bar for a fun packed evening of top quality entertainment. There was a 2 course dinner and show included this time around. This was a sell out well before the night so a great feeling to know customers were coming back for more and the audience loved what they saw the first time around.

I had a sterling line up of performers including fabulous compere Rubyyy Jones, Abigail Collins, Lady Catalina, Eivissa Rose, Lianna Haynes, Lady Lisette Ruby and back to close the show with her tailor made version of La Seductrice was Bonnie Fleur!

Here is some pictures from the first half of the show!

I was lucky enough this time around to have 2 wonderful stage maids to help Kristy Cullum and Sam Wade who looked stunning in the black and white outfits! I would like to thank them for all their help on the night, they were just fantastic! Not to mention the DJ from the first show Nathan from Fresh Entertainment UK who has been a star! A massive thanks to him for being so organised and professional.Another huge thank you to our photographer Laura Donohoe (Laura Donohoe Photography) for the fabulous images you see here of the show. We even had an extra photographer for Lady Catalina and Eivissa Rose, Stuey Hamilton (Joust Photography) all the way from Isle of Wight who I would also like to thank for his awesome photos! Like last time I worked with the graphic designer Chris Dale to ensure the posters and online artwork and my own stamp on it as well and working in the venues style. A huge thanks to Chris and the venue The Tea Bar. Too many thank you to make as I am so lucky to have such a wonderful A-Team of support!

Following the experience from the first show I made some improvements and tweaks and the whole process was much slicker and showed on the night. The whole night had a very fun, relaxed feel with all performers putting on incredible acts and really keeping the audience entertained!

For only show two I think everyone involved managed to make a wonderful experience for the audience. To make that warm fuzzy feeling last even longer I have received some incredible feedback from our audience members too. Here is just a couple of the lovely comments received:

The Tease Bar February 20th 2014 - Stuey Hamilton Joust Photography Isle of Wight
 "I have just returned home from one of the most enjoyable burlesque shows I have ever experienced. Performed at the Tea Bar in Basingstoke, Appleton Productions pulled out all the stops to lure top entertainers from all over the nation, and an amazing compere from Canada, and WOW, they didn't disappoint! There was something for everyone. Burlesque, comedy, vocals.......all knitted seamlessly together by an utterly entertaining compere in the guise of Rubyyy with three y's Jones. As a professional photographer who has been lucky enough to attend many Burlesque shows, I can honestly say, without any hesitation, that this was the best show I have ever been to. Can't WAIT for the next one!"
