The Black Market Burlesque
  • Brighton Fringe

The Black Market is bringing the fabulous 1940's back to Brighton!Who is The Black Market?The black markets of WW2 were unique to each location, they popped up unexpectedly, contained products that were available at that time and place, brought the community together, gave people something outside of their "everyday" and were a little bit naughty!Your experienceAs a guest of The Black Market, you will be treated to a super sexy and stylish show packed with the best of local talent all wrapped up in a beautiful burlesque bow! Award winning drag duo CINEBRA, Glenda Swing & Rita Herringbone will be transporting you back into the bygone glitzy and glamorous era of the 1940's, but is all as it seems... ? Join us to find out!Whats the idea?Part of TBMs uniqueness is not only that the events are made up entirely of local established and upcoming entertainers, our ethos of Dig for Victory and Make Do & Mend give our burlesque shows a unique twist, think of us as championing "ethical entertainment". Each show has an individual theme so you'll never see the same show twice!Who we areProduced by local business woman Romy Alford, TBM is championing change in the entertainment and hospitality industry by giving platforms to performers who represent the unique identity of Brighton. Romy is also focused on bringing the local business community together to create exciting and unforgettable experiences for audiences.Can't wait to see you @theblackmarketbrighton

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
