Join “A Drink with the Idler” as we chat with Ruth Ivo about Soho, sex, and the continuing allure of decadent cabaret.

As ‘Ruby’, Ruth Ivo was a successful burlesque performer, living in blissful bohemian squalor on a decommissioned military boat and spending her evenings unfolding from a Fabergé egg in various London clubs. Her life changed when became show director at ‘The Club’, a notorious and secretive high end Burlesque club. Before long, she was trawling Soho back streets for props and knocking back shots with movie stars and billionaires. Her new memoir Performance delves into the glamorous depths and dark heart of Soho. We’ll be chatting to Ruth about her career as a burlesque dancer and show director, and about Soho decadence and the allure of transgression.
