Backstage at the 3rd Rock’n’Roll Burlesque Freak Show
Or: when Roadrunner’s Paradise is bursting at the seams …

When Sandy Beach (obstetrician of the Teaserettes) asked me to be part of the 3rd Rock’n’Roll Burlesque Freak Show I knew in advance that it would be something great … a meeting of wonderful artists, acrobats, musicians, burlesque dancers, clowns, magicians and cows … Hum … well … I actually didn’t expect cows, neither backstage nor on stage. However, there were cows … with udders and instruments around their bodies … a complete orchestra of cows! Furthermore, there was 3sat and a lot of people were standing around backstage of the Roadrunner’s. Let me say it this way, it was absolutely cosy … no wonder regarding the large number of actors. In advance I was informed of lots of performances and I was totally flashed …
The whole show was divided into two blocks and as my performance should take place in the second one, I had enough time to mingle discreetly with the audience *lol* … I was wearing a red inconspicuous dress … more or less a camouflage look … and I was able to eavesdrop on a small group which I was worried about at the beginning. The first three acts didn’t really inflame them … even worse … they grew angry about the performances. However, it didn’t take long when they realized that there was a very special kind of entertainment on stage. All acts were very creative or written by the unique Sandy Beach … partly improvised partly eternally practised … or being an essential part of the artist’s repertoire. At the end of the first block the group dived into the world of the Teaserettes and was with them. Look, once again some sheep taken back to the flock … *lol*

The probably best Rock’n’Roll Burlesque Freak Show ever should take place this evening and people were arriving in swarms. They were queuing and throwing tins around Hero Vodka to make it more pleasant for themselves while the artists became nervous. You can’t imagine how much energy is arising when an auditorium like Roadrunner’s is getting full … wonderful! It really smelt of adrenalin, the only stuff! I became nervous, too … The reason was more likely Daniel (Crimson Carnival), whose face was a little twisted with pain while he was dilating his two holes *grin* This I formulated deliberately for those waking up on Monday morning with dirty thoughts and not knowing where to put them .*lol* … Ok … no, of course I meant his ears, massive rings, measuring 50 mm in diameter … which merely deserves an applause.
Some time just before the end of the first block the remaining travesty tourists arrived and I was happy that I had already been there … *grin* … What did my grandma say? The early bird catches the worm … hum … silly saying, particularly since I don’t like worms! It was quite conspicuous that Siren still looked as if a lawn-mower had driven through his hairstyle owing to the usual lack of time. It was time to go backstage again to get out the fellow in me … a mixture of Elvis and Lee Hazelwood *lol* … and to perform again my “Summer wine” . I got ready quickly, but I missed the first acts of the second part. This is one of the disadvantages you have while jumping on stage.
When finally my show was announced, it was running itself. If you have conquered stage, you don’t think any more … you just do it … That’s really cool! You are tickled … again and again. I think I will offer some more stage stories, because I love being backstage and I love the applause, even though I always forget to enjoy it. But hey … there are recordings and the next day the applause conjures up a happy grin into my face …
