Melody La Rouge is aka singer and actress Kerry Hodgkin. A 33 Records recording artiste, she has worked on the UK Jazz & Blues scenes for many years – with successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2009 and 2010 with her show “Jazz Table in the Corner” and 2011 with “Shades of Blue” at the award-winning Jazz Bar. She has sung everywhere from Ronnie Scott’s in London to BB King’s in New York. However, in 2010 she began to sing on the London Cabaret/Burlesque scene – loved it - and in 2011 Melody La Rouge was born, press notes state.

Kiss of the Red Menace premiered at Brighton Fringe in May 2011 and was also presented at Edinburgh Fringe that year. In 2012 the show goes on a Fringe Festival Tour encompassing Brighton Fringe (May), Oxford Fringe (June), Buxton Fringe (July), Camden Fringe (early August) and Edinburgh Fringe (late August).
