It only makes sense for us to have SECRETS IN LACE as our 'Presenting Sponsor' for such a grandiose occasion. Starring the best in burlesque strip tease and variety acts from around the globe, selected from over 400 applicants, this year's event is set to be the most glamorous date ever recorded in the International Burlesque calendar."
The London audience is a mix of regular cabaret enthusiasts and curious newcomers, who appreciate the finest in burlesque performers as well as sheer glamour and tastefully risqué entertainment. The Festival helps develop the most talented new and established performers, right through from the avant garde to erotic, sexy circus artists, novelty acts, classic and new strip tease, exposing them to an international stage and the acclaim of diverse audiences. The Festival is full of colour, panache, excitement and is simply the greatest showcase of international burlesque talent on Earth.
