“Stockings are languorously unrolled, the final inch removed with a little wiggle of toenails. Soon the stage is littered with lingerie…” When UK journalist Quentin Letts took in Miss Polly Rae’s London show, he was not left for want of a good time. Consider the corsets tightened and feathers fluffed. The leading UK burlesque queen is strutting back to Sydney this January, bringing her seven-girl troupe to Marrickville’s Factory Theatre for a run of rambunctious debauchery. Leave your goody two shoes behind. (SC)

Jan 5-15, The Factory Theatre, from $69, hurlyburly.com.au
