www.myspace.com/the_macabret
This gorelesque, burlesque and boylesque double act promises to make you laugh, to make you cry, and to show you things you’ve never seen before.
Mechanical Cabaret
www.mechanicalcabaret.com
Locked away in the recording studio for the past 12 months, this exclusive live show for Festival of Sins is the first official Mechanical Cabaret live performance since 2007! Roi and his band of miscreants will be playing a set that premiers several new songs from the forthcoming new album called 'Damaged Goods', due for release in the new year by the German label Major Records, home to the likes of Ladytron and IAMX.
Tough Love
www.toughloveband.com
Tough Love have been described by the Guardian as “the afrobeat Scissor Sisters” and by Flavorpill as “tribal pop ambassadors”. Their dressed-up live shows are a riot of chanting backing vocals, face paint and Victorian-inspired finery, which might explain why Record of the Day has said that “they look and sound like nothing we have seen in recent times”.
Joe Black
www.myspace.com/misterjoeblack
A unique piano and accordion fronted musical assault, combining a catchy heavy stomp of the foot with the voice equivalent of a blow to the senses, leading you into pounding polkas and whimsical waltzes, it is show tunes for the alternative inclined, the all stomping, all growling, neo vaudevillian, that is Joe Black.
Mr Mistress
This beautiful, seductive cross dressing, garter belt wearing, unique burlesque performer has just moved from the south of England to grace the London alternative scene with his talents. He is busy creating a special Greed inspired performance especially for us.
Veronika Valentine
Sinners previously witnessed Ms Valentine's erotic climb up a spiderweb, and are now treated to a greedy show by this seductive and sensuous madame.
Veronika Valentine opens Festival of Sins: Greed with her performance at 9.15pm, so come early to make sure you don't miss her.
Pole Dancer: Nyuszi
DJs: Guy and Kate Way
plus stalls, free cookies, greedy door gifts, Twisted Cirque gimp stilt walkers, body painting, photographers studio, drawing corner, and more.

Highly Recommended by The Fetishistas who say it is:
"Fast becoming known as London’s most debauched variety night"
Punk Globe Website proclaims it as:
"different to any other club I've been to...if you fancy a decadent night out, then look no further"
Bubblegum Slut Magazine suggests it is:
"an inspired and refreshingly original fixture on the London club circuit most importantly lacks the cliqueness and pretension of many more specifically targeted events. For the sinful and open-minded this is a whole lot of fun!"
