Me! Me! Me!

Hosting everything from BDSM clubs to rock festivals, Des O'Connor is ascending to vaudeville stadium superstar status. Before his inevitable decline into substance abuse and gossip magazine capers, Me! Me! Me! is a hot ménage à trois that is more about talent than tabloids. Sarah Louise Young – the hardest working whore in cabaret – and Mr B, who effortly equates Easy E's elan and elegant English enticement, join for a hot three way in which they dissect the glamorous facade and expose the lurking horror.

Between promiscuously promoting their party pieces around The Fringe – Mr B's Acid Ted is this year's anthem – the trio tag-team on instruments and backing vocals to become a cabaret supergroup: O'Connor even whips out his clarinet and kisses the reed, Mr B considers the strange transformation of Tim Westwood from his prep-school pal to RZA's homeboy while Young delves into her dubious sexual morality. From O'Connor's opening The Normal Show, the theme is set: beneath the sparkling surface lies perversion, betrayal and insincerity.

Young is both a superb singer and a cutting songwriter: Mr B's 'chap-hop' is far more than a one-line gag and O'Connor gets to indulge his more complex side. They still stop the show, just like at the big events: however, their intelligence and craft is as impressive as the singalong tunes. The burlesque aesthetic - satirical, sardonic and shameless - is on full display, even if the naked body is clearly absent.
