Annual burlesque and cabaret charity show hosted by Trixie Lee with guest performer Cleopantha, blending burlesque, comedy and choreography.
The 2026 Annual Burlesquercise Show is back at The Nest on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November, the biggest and boldest edition of the annual run so far. This year it's a charity show in honour of Ben's Den, with proceeds going to a charity that creates magical memories for children with cancer and their families. Raffle tickets sold on the night also contribute to the cause, so there are a few ways to chip in beyond the ticket price.
On stage, the evening blends burlesque, cabaret, comedy and high-energy choreography, with talent drawn from across the UK. Trixie Lee hosts the whole thing, and guest performer Cleopantha joins the bill alongside Evie Ivory, Phoenyx Rielle, Bella's Bombshells, Bella's Beefcakes, Betsy Lou and Coco Spice. Between the solo turns and the group numbers, it's a full night of variety rather than a single act.
