Dame Le Raine was crowned Alternative Queen of Reading on Friday! Seen here being crowned by representatives from Berkshire Women’s Aid and SupportU, Dame Le Raine wowed judges and audience alike with her burlesque debut.  Using comedy and sauciness in equal measure she presented the ongoing battle between temptation and and societal pressure to stay thin and fabulous.

The Berlin Baroness was runner up, and gave not only a storming comedy turn as a German chanteuse, she provided her own simultaneous subtitles plus a Bauhaus balloon animal!
