"The Eruption from Vegas" 1998 - 2002

It's bold, brassy, occasionally raunchy and certainly not afraid to be excellent entertainment .....Welcome to an explosive night at the "King Villa Lounge", somewhere on the outskirts of Las Vegas!!

Inspired by music hall. TV commercials, pop and the seedy side of Vegas, King Villa present a slick and visual, musical cabaret, with imaginative use of songs, outrageous props, wigs, puppets and flashy costumes.

Las Vegas has a reputation for big stars and this show is no exception, boasting personal appearances from Elvis, Mick Jagger, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, Lulu and Bob Dylan.   

King Villa  place the emphasis on their own catchy songs, which vary in style from Forties/Fifties Swing to the sassy, grinding sound of early Sixties Soul and Rhythm & Blues.

Jo "Luigi Ponso" King, exhibitionist and songwriter, plays sax, guitar and trumpet.

Rachel "Kitty" Colles, sublime vocalist and double take specialist, plays fiddle and hits things.

This is "in your face" musical entertainment at it's sleazy best.

So take a gamble, throw your chips down and dress for a spectacular night out in the "Casino Capital of the World".

Slick, witty, musically brilliant, totally accessible and excellent fun, I would recomend this duo till I was blue in the face.                                                                     

                                                                                                      Sara Robinson, Ludlow Assembly Rooms

They deliver their wicked impersonations with great panache and some clever props .....You've not lived until you have seen Marilyn Monroe doing her Chas 'n Dave medley!

I was so impressed with the way they handled the crowd; I offered them a summer residency.

                                                                                        Sean McDonnell (The Rock Garden, Covent Garden)

It's amazing what you can do with a sense of humour, a striptease and a pair of melons!!!
