Strip-teasing gorillas, contortionists, belly dancers and live musicians can all be found in the purple cow's belly tonight.

All through the Brighton Festival and Fringe the Udderbelly has been hosting a Voodoo Vaudeville Party every Friday hosted by the master of the macabre Chris Cresswell.

Each show mixes glamour, art and filth with some great aerial acts, dance performances, screenings from Junk TV and very special guests.

Rounding each night off is a selection of top tunes from some of the best DJs around.

Voodoo Vaudeville has previously worked with the likes of Futureshorts, Torture Garden and Be@Proud Gallery.

The Udderbelly is offering a series of special events on Saturdays, with a hoedown-themed night tomorrow.

Among the country treats on offer from 10.30pm are a hillbilly inner-udder dance-off with the Farmers Daughters.

DJs Stylus and Lorngerie will be playing rural ruckus and country funk all night.

If all of that wasn't enough look out for a rock and roll night on Thursday, featuring Forties and Fifties swing, jive and rock 'n' roll courtesy of the Double Six Club.

Revellers are encouraged to come dressed in Forties and Fifties clothes to hear the best in the period's music courtesy of DJs Desert Ivan Discs, Smokin Gun Dunn and Slick Nick plus plenty of guests.
