Impossible to define and impossible to resist, La Clique has returned to London for the festive season and will perform until the 17th January at The Roundhouse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The New York burlesque scene is represented through the Wau Wau Sisters, performing what the Toronto Comedy Festival has described as &#8220;Filthy Flying Fun&#8221;, while the exquisite Marawa, part Josephine Baker and part Betty Boop, with her leopard print unitard and large pink flower in her hair, mesmerizes the audience with a spectacularly sexy Hula Hoop act.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3717 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/m_784b743ef8fdd541aaaea9649ecf730b.jpg\" alt=\"Ursula Martinez\" width=\"170\" height=\"226\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 170px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 170\/226;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Saying that Ursula Martinez, writer and actress as well as cabaret performer, treads where few performers dare to go, is definitely not a cliched expression to sustain the conversation &#8211; and her cult striptease act, with its mischievous disappearing hanky, is a genuinely jaw-dropping sensation.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Other highlights include The Skating Willers, who spin at breakneck speed on the tiny circular stage in a highly dangerous roller-skating act that leaves the spectator with the feeling they&#8217;ve never seen something like that in their whole life. It&#8217;s also the London debut of mesmerising Sam Alvarez and his incredibly fascinating flying acrobatics performance in chains&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3718 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/theGalleryLarge_legateauchocolat-300x281.jpg\" alt=\"theGalleryLarge_legateauchocolat\" width=\"300\" height=\"281\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/theGalleryLarge_legateauchocolat-300x281.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/theGalleryLarge_legateauchocolat.jpg 490w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/281;\" \/>On the comedy side, let&#8217;s not forget Mario Queen of the Circus, a leather-bursting reincarnation of Freddie Mercury (well, kinda), the Ikea-country fellow Carl-Einar Hackner and of course Le Gateau Chocolat, an opera-singing diva with an obvious penchant for lycra and tulle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you miss the delightful taste of decadence on your tongue, if it&#8217;s been too long since the last time you took a walk on the wild side, don&#8217;t wait one minute more&#8230; Book your tickets now!
