Dr Sketchy Set List from 4 September 2010

Quickly posting my set list from earlier today -- I depart to Canada for two weeks early tomorrow. It was a fun and memorable Dr Sketchy: the burlesque performer / model this time was Khandie Kisses. Our usual resident emcee Dusty Limits was indisposed; his replacement was glamorous burlesque performer Kiki Kaboom. I’d never worked with her before and she was a blast: a wry, relaxed and engaging mistress of ceremonies, and best of all she finished things off by serenading a guy from the audience with an alluring rendition of the Marilyn Monroe standard “You’d Be Surprised.”

Kiki in action (her showreel, to the tune of the awesome "Boss" by The Rumblers):

  3. Travelingsuep: Thanks for the sweet comment. It was my pleasure. I'll be DJ'ing at the next Dr Sketchy on 22 September, also at The Old Queen's Head if you're around for that.
    Eightball: I bought The Bill Black Combo's Saxy Jazz / Solid & Raunchy on iTunes! As you can see, I play him a lot: he's ideal for sleazy, atmospheric instrumentals.
