The annual Christmas party can be a tedious affair especially when you’re holding it for clients.
Determined to make their client event memorable, one London caterer put on their creative elf hats recently and decided an evening of burlesque would fit the bill.
With the theme set the managing and business development directors found a suitable venue, which promised no less than the Welsh Dita Von Tesse (or Samantha as she turned out to be known) in a pantomime based on Cinderella.
It is at this point it’s worth recommending that if you are taking out a group of VIPs that are essentially paying your wages it is wise to check out the performance beforehand.
The show opened with a dwarf in a gimp mask leading a dominatrix around by a neck-chain. Things got fruitier from there on in with a particularly interesting incident with one of the caterer’s clients and Cinder’s missing glass slipper.
It seems this caterer had certainly hit on the memorable part of the equation.
“I think we got away with it,” confided a clearly relieved business development director. “A lot of the clients loved it but I think we’ll try something different next year.”
Quite.
