You remember how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow. Famous femme fatale Lauren Bacall said those famous lines in a classic '40s film noir, now fast forward to the 21st century when your whistling skills will be called upon for Bad Betty, an “All Bad Girl Revue” out to set hearts (and other things) aflame with their scintillating stage show. Singer-songwriter Jessie Payo unleashes her inner cabaret diva as she fronts her band The Bad Thing whilst beautiful chorus girls the Hellcats dance onstage to the band's retro sounds led by burlesque dancer Miss Dakota. With enough fishnet stockings, stiff drinks and thrilling performances, it's no night at home, but you can still sit back and let your hair get ruffled. Don't forget to whistle.
