When you’re not enjoying London at night from the upper deck, having a boogie in the dance area, getting pervy in the dungeon or relaxing in the intimate chillout space, here’s the live entertainment in store on May 28th…
The Rackmasters Dungeon
The dungeon at this year’s Skin Two Rubber Ball is in an atmospheric space deep in the lower deck of the boat. It’s a super place to play and it’s reached down the narrow stairs you’d except to find on a vintage yacht. That means the dungeon apparatus has to be dismantled and taken below decks…The dungeon is suppled by The Rackmasters this year and it gives them a perfect way to demonstrate that their top quality dungeon gear can easily be dismantled for storage and re-assembled in less than 15 minutes. Even if you are luck probably want to store your kit out of sight of prying eyes when it’s not in use.
The Rackmasters dungeon furniture is designed especially with this in mind, and you might be surprised to see how sleazily such robust and nicely finished gear can break down for storage – yet look very much the part when in use.
So, before you lash out on dungeon furniture that will be a pain to store, come along and check out Rackmasters kit at the Ball and speak to their team. They have many more designs on their website and they also offer a useful “hire or buy” service. They will do custom designs and upholstery in vinyl, leather, animal print, etc.
You can phone 07751 054951 to arrange your visit to The Rackmasters’ Peterborough workshop – or just come and try it our for yourself at Skin Two Rubber Ball on May 28th.
Deviant UK Live on the Main Stage
Deviant UK are stars of the European dark alternative stage, spearheading the British scene. The band’s debut album ‘Barbed Wire Star,’ spawned the anthemic club hits ‘Raptured Saints’ and ‘Access Denied’. Their new album ‘Very Bad Things’ is out now.Deviant UK is masterminded by devilish singer/songwriter Jay Smith (“A true showman with an ego the size of a planet” – Rocksound Magazine). This is pop with a black heart, Smith’s angst-ridden vocals coating every song in ice. His lyrical stance is suitably dark; everyone has a secret to hide, friends will always let you down and love inevitably ends badly.
Hear four sample tracks, see tour dates and get their album “Barbed Wire Star” at www.myspace.com/deviantuk
Ophelia Bitz
Introducing the band on the main stage is our MC, the outrageous Ms Ophelia Bitz. A mixture of Jo Brand, Stephen Fry and Dorothy Parker – but quite a lot filthier – Ophelia hosts the notorious Artwank events. She has rocked venues across the USA, Europe and UK, from Glastonbury to Madame JoJo’s. Described as “brilliantly twisted” (The Guardian) and “a stunning zaftig cherub” (The Independent), Ms Bitz will be unleashed at the Rubber Ball Watch out…Skin Two Cabaret at the Rubber Ball
The Skin Two Cabaret features not one, not two, but three of London’s most creative comedy stars in a dedicated space on board. Check this out…
Scott Capurro
The Skin Two Cabaret features San Francisco’s hot gay comedian, Scott Capurro, star of Mrs Doubtfire and Star Wars. This is what GQ Magazine said about Scott – “If you thought Ricky Gervais pushed boundaries, nothing will prepare you for Scott Capurro. Having been shortlisted for the coveted Perrier Award, Capurro has gone from strength to strength, refusing to sell out, making each show more uncompromising that the last. He is the bravest and funniest comedian on the circuit.” Get a taste of Scott at scottcapurro.com/wp28/videosEarl Okin
Singer, songwriter, comedian and international sex symbol Earl Okin, star of Birdland in New York, Edinburgh Festival and Montreal Comedy Festival, has played the London Palladium, Wembley Arena, the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and appeared alongside Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Stephane Grappelli and Cleo Laine. Not only that, Earl drives a Rover P4. Find out about Earl, download his podcast and check his gigs on his website, and come and see him at the Rubber Ball www.earlokin.comIvor Dembina
Ivor Dembina is probably the most famous fetishist in the Jewish diaspora and certainly the funniest. His show ‘Sadojudaism’ memorably compares the Jewish faith to BDSM (“I like to be beaten – but not in business”). Ivor is one of the few Jewish comedians to play Palestine – apparently Hamas loved him. He runs the famous Hampstead Comedy Club and he’ll be in charge of the Skin Two Cabaret at the Rubber Ball. www.thinkbeforeyoulaugh.comBondassage
A New Exploration of the Senses
Bondassage is new technique, developed in California by erotic practitioners Jaeleen and Montaine. It is comprised of light bondage, sensory deprivation, massage and sensation play and is warmly recommended by celebrated author Dr Annie Sprinkle, who knows a thing or two about erotic pleasure.
Says Jaeleen, “I started combining what I love about massage and what I love about S&M, which is bondage, sensory deprivation, tease and denial and corporal punishment, and I developed a sequence that eventually became Bondassage.”
“With Bondassage we massage a body part, and then we incorporate something kinky. Then we massage another body part and then we do something kinky. It’s great. It always keeps the client on the edge. In combination with taking away sight and putting on the music headphones it really puts the client deep in touch with their body. It enables people to go to a place they normally don’t access.”
If you think that ’S&M’ sounds just a bit too heavy for you, then Bondassage might be just right. Says Jaeleen, “Absolutely! I designed it for novices, for people who were curious but never tried anything like it. It’s fun, nice, safe, and it doesn’t hurt. It’s totally non-threatening. So, if I’m sensually flogging someone and they clench and tighten, that’s not what I want in this particular case. I’m looking for them to arch their body up to reach out for more, to like and want it.”
Certified Bondassage sessions and also practitioner training is now available in London with Rebecca Lowrie, who will demonstrate the sequence at Skin Two Rubber Ball.
Rebecca’s website is www.rebeccalowrie.com. She will also soon have a new website specifically for her Bondassage practice at www.bondassageeurope.com.
The American Bondassage website is www.bondassage.com.
