Merry Christmas from Lambchop M-- oh fuck it. I'm doing myself in.

Christmas is just too too bleak this year. I'm jumping on the bandwagon of internet publicized suicides and hanging myself from the Christmas tree.

UNLESS I get at least 100 more fans on Facebook by the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve. So... sign on and become a fan, peeps... do you really want a dangling lamb on your conscience?

Love, Lambchop Magoo

Lambchop wins third place in the 2008 Tournament of Tease Finals!

That means I'm the third bestest burlesquer in London, or probably the world. Wheeeeee! It was a super fun evening, made particularly so by Goodtime Mama Jojo's hilarious compering. Many thanks to the Whoopee Club for producing such a brilliant event.

I do hope those in attendance found my piece to be educational. Remember kids... stay in school, and you too might ponce about on stage in a lamb suit and ruffly knickers.

The judges seemed to be disappointed that I didn't "get my tits out" so in order to cater to that segment of the market I have now installed a LambCam in my bedroom, so you can look at my tits any time, simply by following this link:

Lambchop trepidatiously contemplates what a McCain/Palin victory would mean for the world.

Magoo Endorses Obama

Yes we do! In a not very clever attempt to insinuate that supporters of Barack Obama are unoriginal thinkers, merely following the herd, Republican t-shirt designers inadvertantly hit on a truth: Sheep will indeed vote for Obama in 2008. At least this sheep did. Now if you're lucky enough to be a U.S. citizen (What's that in my cheek? Oh it's my tongue!) please go out there and do the same.

Love, Lambchop

Lambchop Magoo meets Stephen Fry and Manages Not to Piss Herself!

We breathed the same air! He spoke to me! His jumper was so utterly Cambridge! He said (AND I QUOTE!)

"Lambchop Magoo... how fabulous!"

I fully intended to propose marriage, or at least civil union, or at least that I have his babies via artificial insemination. Unfortunately this little lamb was so starstruck upon meeting her hero, all she managed was some maniacal sycophantic laughter, and a quick plug for her cabaret number devoted to Fry himself.

After my turn was over, and I had to let the sizable queue of other Fry aficionados have their turn to worship, I hid behind a book display and gazed at him as if he were a zoo animal for quite some time. I'd still be there, frozen in ecstasy, if my colleague hadn't politely suggested that perhaps I had better move on or risk being thought strange.

It was magical.

Thewhatworks Cabaret at Cosmobar OCTOBER 1

Hello my snuggly minions. After a brief hiatus from the stage so I could finish my godforsaken dissertation, Lambchop Magoo is now BACK in ACTION, starting tomorrow night at the lovely artsy-fartsy sounding THEWHATWORKS cabaret at:

The Cosmobar
Clerkenwell Road EC1M 5PS (Near Barbican tube or Farringdon)
8:00

You'll get a double helping of Lambchop, plus many other fine cabaret practitioners... I believe the theme is DayGlo Nights, so if you have anything garishly neon, by all means don it! I think I have a tutu that will do the thing nicely.

Bleeeeat!

"Lambchop Magoo hits the mark with her barmy mix of maths and striptease."-- Edinburgh Evening News

Here's a linkie poo to a very nice story about Sideshow. They found us sweet and charming. Clearly, they haven't seen me in the morning before my sencha.

Lambchop Magoo is so fast at maths her hooves are a cloven blur!

Fresh from the Fringe and Delighted for Duckie

Hello devoted Kebabertons! I just returned from Edinburgh after playing a week at Sideshow, as well as a great night at the gorgeous Bongo Club. It was fabulous to perform with such talented folks, everyone from Lady Carol & Kitten on the Keys, to the incomparable Scales of the Unexpected (I nearly wet my knickers!), Chrysalis, and many more. The Fringe is pretty darn intense, so I need a little nap time... about a week should suffice, which is perfect because that's about how long before I premiere a NEW PIECE at Duckie, at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern on Saturday the 16th of August. Doors are at 9:00 and I shimmy onstage around 11:30. There will be Fry. Oh yes.

Lambchop at Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Hooray! I'm going to Scotland! Something about a Fringe Festival? I just had my fringe trimmed, so I think I'm ready. I'll be chopping away at the world famous Underbelly in Sideshow with the Bloody Ringmaster and of course, Margaret the Gimp, August 2-8. Here's a linkie-poo for tickertons:

See you there!

La Petite Mort: The Reviews are In!

"The best use of Fry in any show this season!" -The Guardian

"Hey, thanks for the immortality!"- The Evening Standard

"They're giving you an M.A. for this?" -My flatmate

La Petite Mort

"Visualizing the cabaret space..."

Come on, come all (well, not ALL as there's limited seating) to La Petite Mort, a cabarageous evening of drinks, debauchery and discourse in the heart of decadant, bohemian Primrose Hill!

I'm your compere for this show of unparalleled superness.

There's burlesque... but it's messy.

There's singing... but it's strangled.

There are puppets... but they've burned.

There's chicken... oh yes.

Gosh I hope nothing morose, macabre, violent or otherwise poopy happens!

La Petite Mort is part of the Stay Tuned Festival, produced by the Central School of Speech and Drama (of which Stephen Fry is vice-president. FYI.)

The deets:

Friday, June 20 at 7 & 9 PM.

Upstairs at the Adelaide Public House

143 Adelaide Road, Primrose Hill, NW3 3NL

Cost: FREE

To book a seat, simply email staytunedfestival@cssd.ac.uk

Brand New Act! Lambchop Magoo Does a Judy Garland Tribute

Now Judy can stop rolling over in her grave about Rufus Wainwright's sacrilegious "tribute" because Lambchop Magoo is on the case! She unveils her sparkling new act at Sideshow at the Arts Theatre London, Leicester Square on Friday, June 6th, 8:00 PM! Surely nothing will go wrong! (ominous cello note sounds here!)

Sideshow again!

I'll be joining the Ringmaster, Margaret the Gimp, and company again at Sideshow, on May 9th, at 8:00 at the Arts Theatre, Leicester Square. It's cabarageous. Truly truly truly cabarageous!

Lambchop to appear in Sideshow

Hello, my little kebabs. If you haven't had your L. Magoo fix in awhile, then pop over to the London Arts Theatre on April 11. Sideshow is a splendid cabaret and I'll be shimmying away.

Here's a linkerton:

April 11 also happens to be the 57th birthday of my mother, so that performance will be dedicated to her, and her excellent work in both popping me out, and raising me to be a decent little lamb.

Watch the new documentary about Lambchop on YouTube!

It's called The Birth of Lambchop Magoo (Parts 1 and 2). Here are the linkie-winkies:

Let's just say that it was my first attempt ever at editing, and it took a day and a half of my life, which I'll never get back, so I hope you enjoy it! It contains rare footage of Lambchop's first ever celebrity interview!

Lovertons,

Lambchop Magoo

Ich bin ein Lambchop!

I think that my gig in Berlin tomorrow qualifies me as an International Performance Artist. I can't wait to join the International Performance Artist Union. I hope dues aren't too expensive.

Also, here's some good news for the Lambchop Faithful (and I use Google Analytics, so I know who counts as "faithful!": Lambchop Magoo's Cabarageous Extravapalooza has been accepted to the MA ATP festival at Central School of Speech and Drama this June. That means: more Lambchop than you can shake a stick at in a hilarious, surreal, spectacular cabaret created by the brilliant MA ATP crew.

So, if you were planning to die of face cancer before then... try to hold out. It'll be worth it.

Don't hate me because I'm ewe-tiful.

Dear Stephen Fry,

Hi! It's me. Now, I noticed that you didn't make it to my birthday party last week. But that's ok. I just wanted to let you know that you can come over for cheese and crackers any time. You don't even have to call.

Love (with the heat of a thousand suns),

Lambchop Magoo

Lambchop plays the Magic Lantern Club

Ms. Magoo has recovered from her 27th birthday party hangover, and is ready to kill with a swish of her tail. So come all ye faithful to the BGWMC tonight, Feb 22, doors at 9, show starts at 10.

Dear people who talked through my performance last night,

I hate you.


Love,

Lambchop Magoo

Duh duh duh duh duh duh...

Lambchop rides again!

If you missed last Thursday, see the same piece Saturday, February 16, same Lamb time, same Lamb channel!

I posted a video of the damn thing... it took me four hours, two (and by two I mean three) glasses of wine, and one episode of Law & Order to master the enigmas that are editing and Youtube, but at least now my parents can (sort of) see what I've been up to.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Lambchop wins the Whoopee Club's Tournament of Tease for February!

I'd like to thank my colleagues at the Central School of Speech and Drama for their support, especially Lada Bonacci and Alice Darzentas. I'd like to thank the Whoopee Club for producing such a great event. And I'd like to thank Stephen Fry for being really really funny. And I'd like to thank the estate of Shari Lewis for not suing me... yet.

See Lambchop's Burlesque Debut This Thursday at the Bethnal Green Workingmen's Club

Yes, folks, it's true. I'm strutting my stuff in Bethnal Green on Thursday, February 7. Doors open at 8:00, show starts at 9:00.

I don't want to shatter the other contestants' hopes... but I've been working on my shimmy, and it's quite powerful.

Lambchop: The Interview... Part I

Richard and/or Judy: Lambchop, how would you classify yourself as a performer?

Lambchop Magoo: Well, Richard and/or Judy, I'm difficult to pin down to a genre. I experiment with the theoretical framework of being "super talented." Though some scholars would call what I do "awesome."

Richard and/or Judy: Would you consider your work to be Neo-Feminist Burlesque?

Lambchop Magoo: Christ, I'm sick of answering this question. No. I don't believe in Neo-Feminist Burlesque.

Richard and/or Judy: Well then, would you consider your work to be Santa Claus?

Lambchop Magoo: Christ, I'm sick of answering this question. No. I don't believe in Santa Claus.



Stay tuned for more of this exclusive interview.

Born To Be Wilde

For me and my girlfriends, breaking in one's first pair of pointe shoes was as much milestone of womanhood as getting one's first period... and involved just as much blood!

Whoopsie Daisies

So... apparently "inanity"is a bad thing. Perhaps no one will notice.

False advertising

Harrumph! I shuffled all the way over to London and Stephen Fry is nowhere to be found.
