London Burlesque Festival
Thursday 9th May 2013 | ARIANE
When? 10th to 19th May 2013
London Burlesque Festival returns for the seventh year at a number of venues across the capital. Brought to you by the infamous King of Burlesque, Chaz Royal, the man behind the hilariously named 'Pavabotti - The Naked Tenor', this year's event is bigger and more glamorous than ever.
What was initially a weekend of glitz, vaudeville and sizzling striptease is now a whole ten nights of raucous exotic entertainment showcasing the very best in British burlesque and beyond. Venues across London including Madame JoJo's and Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush take part and the festival opens and closes with glittering ceremonies.
Further highlights include the Best of British, with a display of the most talented and unique burlesque and variety acts from London and the rest of the UK; Hollywood Revive, an evening of star-studded glamour to play tribute to the greatest film stars from the silver screen; and Twisted Cabaret, the weird and wonderful scene of alternative cabaret. If you crave suspenders, stockings, whips, lace, red lips, lascivious ladies, pert posteriors and a bit of a slap 'n' tickle then this is the event for your diary.
