Titty Bar Ha Ha – the name alone should grab your attention and get you curious enough to buy a ticket to find out more. Sexy, bawdy and just a little wrong, this is the perfect late night rendezvous for those who like their cabaret a little blue.
Set in 1943 England during World War II, we meet Hope and Gloria, the “providers of pleasure” of Titty Bar Ha Ha, a burlesque bar they run. We learn that they are hiding a very human, very dead secret in their basement which is causing some anxiety but this does not stop them from doing what they do best – entertain and deliver a rollicking good time!
Throughout the hour you can expect many a raunchy song and suggestive dance that will make you both giggle and blush. The lyrics are incredibly audacious and unabashedly risqué with witty double entendres and are performed superbly with great conviction by this talented duo. They have some serious vocal chops and they also do an impressive kazoo duet which was a clear crowd favorite.
Although Hope and Gloria love the attention and the spotlight, they also enjoy interacting with the crowd. They mingle and flirt with the audience and be prepared to be picked to get involved in the shenanigans too, be it in a game of “spit or swallow” or an impromptu dance audition. This is definitely not a show for the shy and reserved!
If songs about sex and masturbation make you uncomfortable then Titty Bar Ha Ha is probably not for you. But if you don’t offend easy and are up for some high-end smut, this show has it in spades. Be warned though: the songs are extremely catchy and you will find yourself humming the melodies the morning after.
