Deaf Institute, Manchester M1 7HE 10pm – 3.30am  £6 THE quietly outrageous Ursula Martinez first appeared as part of Queer Up North ten years ago, having emerged from the ‘Duckie’ gay cabaret scene in London. Since then, this astute entertainer has gone on to show her work all over the world and to star in the new-wave vaudeville variety show, La Clique. She also has a rather famous trademark part of her show. Known as Hanky Panky, it’s a magic striptease which essentially consists of Ursula shedding her clothing as a red hanky is made to disappear, only to reappear in her skirt, then her bra, then her knickers, then, by the time she’s fully nude . . . well, I’m sure you get the picture! http://www.lacliquelondon.com/ David is an artist/human being who has dedicated his life to art and expression since time immemorial.
