Miss Behave
Amy Saunders, aka Miss Behave demonstrates her sword swallowing skills

Dressed in red latex and a pillbox hat, Amy Saunders, aka Miss Behave, has been described as “Betty Boop meets Marlene Dietrich” although Amy calls herself “a live cartoon with a late night attitude”. She is one of the last surviving female sword swallowers in the world and is in constant demand for her outrageously quirky and humorous stage act. Her fans include Joan Rivers and Liza Minelli and she is never happier than when she is swallowing a 2 ft long sword. Miss Behave joins Jenni to demonstrate her skill and to talk about a her unusual choice of profession.
