Lada Redstar!

Here we have another larger than life character performing for us all at October's Champagne Circus! The lascivious Lada Redstar!

Lada is glamour personified. She's quite simply fabulous, and is one of the most influential burlesque artists of her generation - her couture costumes are outstanding. And, she has the intimate, timeless sex appeal akin to the classic divas of the silver screen. She's the ultimate showgirl. 
In Burlesque you can't be sexy, or entertaining without a touch of dry humour, poise and timing. Lada has all three down to a very fine art indeed! 

For the Champagne Circus, Lada Redstar will be performing two very special acts that haven't yet been seen in Helsinki:

Pippa the Ripper!

Pippa the Ripper, is a hula-hooping mastermind. Some would say a genius, even. For she makes the art of hula-hooping look deceptively easy!

Performing in theatres, circus big-tops, and cabarets from Berlin to Broadway, Pippa has left a trail of emotional devastation in her wake. Now living in London, Australian Pippa is currently working on a new world record attempt. ( I wonder if she'll give us a preview for The Champagne Circus?!)

Beautiful, fun, sexy and amusing, Pippa will rip into your psyche and tear away your conceptions of circus burlesque forever! 

Ophelia Bitz!

For all of you who attended April's Champagne Circus you would have encountered a larger than life character, notorious for her heathen sense of humour, and wicked, wicked ways. 
Our Ring Mistress Ophelia Bitz is back in Helsinki on October 8th bringing with her more sordid tales of desire, depravity, and songs of seduction and scandal, whilst maintaining her enviable charisma and dashing sense of humour.
We are SO excited to have her back, she was one of the stars of April's show, and she hasn't let us forget it in a hurry. I'm sure those in attendance will remember Bitz's kiwi fruit exploits for a very long time to come, indeed...


Not only is Ophelia Bitz an international show girl of the highest esteem. She also has recently won a flying gold penis trophy at The Erotic Awards, London for Sexy Comedienne of the year! 


(The Erotic Awards are run by charity Outsiders, to celebrate sex workers, activists, writers and artists, and to raise awareness of the rights of people with physical disabilities. Founded by Tuppy Owens the awards serve as a fund-raiser and party.)


Ophelia produces a phenomenal cultural event celebrating sexual diversity, antique pornography, ethical consumption of contemporary pornography , cabaret and comedy! The event is called ArtWank, and you can read more about it here; ART WANK!!!!

Lucky Hell

Its time again for another Circus Spectacular! Leading up to The Champagne Circus, I'll be introducing October's fabulous cast and crew, here's the first of many talented artists...

Lucky Hell.


For those of you who have been reading the Finnish news recently, you would have noticed a lot of fuss about this lady! Lucky recently performed a successful flesh suspension from a crane over a lake in Helsinki to raise awareness for animal rights in Finland.

Lucky is Finland's only female sword swallower — an ancient art that is rarely resurrected in the 21st Century, she's a modern fakir, presenting her death defying stunts to international audiences with a luxurious, louche appeal seldom seen in today's cabaret underworld! 

We can't wait to see what she'll come up with for October's Champagne Circus, but here's a few teasers from her previous performances:

CHAMPAGNE CIRCUS II

We are so thrilled to be producing another Champagne Circus in Helsinki! It's going to be utterly amazing. 


We've made a few (important) changes to the space, and now have our own circus themed private bar, with sumptuous Champagne cocktails! More details to follow later...
