MISS Sherry Trifle delved inside her lollipop pink and cream trifle – that is, an oversized plastic version of the desert that was propped onto the Wam Bam Club’s Saturday night stage. 

Underneath the candy-coloured lights, she pulled out a bottle of something that looked attractively intoxicating and shiny, then guzzled the entire bottle. 

That rather audacious introduction was a perfect example of the heady night that would follow, full of burlesque, laughs, creativity and mischief.

This over-the-top West End supper club and variety night boasts performances by, among others, Frank Sanazi – a Nazi spinoff of Frank Sinatra – and Gogo Harder, a male “boylesque” dancer who strips down to nearly nothing and manages to inject the audience with an energy that doesn't fade all night.

Other performers included High Tales, Miss Trifle herself and glamorous hostess Lady Alex.

Musical performers Raymond and Mr Timpkins excelled in taking song lyrics and interpreting them, or misinterpreting them, in a very literal way. They stand out for their originality, but listen out for the highlight where one comic swoop manages to change the way you think of Britney Spears lyrics forever. 

All in all, this is a brilliant night at the historic Café de Paris. 

A good laugh is priceless – and there are plenty of laughs to be had here.
