Jack Woodhead has been enthusiastic about burlesque dancing for years, and became famous by performing in England, Berlin and New York as a cabaret soloist. The British-born man currently lives in Berlin and is running a programme of shows every evening this week as part of the burlesque contest. The highlight of the four-day event is the final of the contest on Saturday 14 July 2012. The three winners will be chosen by burlesque celebrities such as Beatrix von Bourbon, LaLaVox and Lady Lou, and will be presented with goodies like photo shoots, workshops and cash prizes.

Host Jack Woodhead found a top quality location in the Comedy Club "Kookaburra": in 2002, an extraordinary cabaret stronghold grew up in an old branch of a bank, and has now become an integral part of the Berlin cultural scene. As the first comedy club in the German capital, the "Kookaburra" club in Prenzlauer Berg is unique in Germany.

Just a few minutes away from the event location, in the middle of the exciting Berlin Mitte district, is the legendary boutique hotel ARCOTEL Velvet Berlin. It is a place where the creativity of the cultural and art scenes are at home, a hotel with warm colours, clear shapes and sensuous details is hidden behind a high-tech glass façade. Alongside tourists and business guests, artists and socialites find the perfect place to enjoy the urban joie de vivre. The trained staff in the hotel always have exclusive tips for your evening programme, and would be happy to help you book a ticket for the "Second International Burlesque Contest Fish&Whips".
