The Big Tease Soirée returns to Flamingos Live, celebrating 17 years of the Australian Burlesque Festival with a cast of Australian and international burlesque performers.
The Big Tease Soirée is back at Flamingos Live on Thursday 8 October, as part of the Australian Burlesque Festival. It's a bit of a milestone year: the festival is celebrating 17 years, and it's billed as Australia's longest-running national burlesque festival. The night brings together a cast of Australian and international burlesque performers, so you'll see a mix of local names and people coming in from overseas.
The evening is built around a few different traditions. There's the vintage glamour that burlesque is known for, but it's paired with more contemporary creativity, and the set pulls in comedy, cabaret and variety alongside the dance. It's not just one thing — you'll get the costumes and the strip, but also the jokes and the variety acts that keep the energy moving. The whole thing is staged on the traditional lands of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples.
Behind the scenes, the festival is managed by Cherry Daiquiri Productions Pty Ltd, and this particular soirée is one of the highlights of their 17th anniversary. If you've never seen a burlesque show before, this is a good place to start: it's a variety format, so the mood shifts throughout the night rather than sticking to one note.
