The Glasgow Festival of Burlesque

The Glasgow Festival of Burlesque might take place in November, but it's not just the weekend-long programme of shows that they have in store. Expect a number of other performances throughout the year, so you can get your fix of sultry performances in any month.

The Corset Club

A historic building that provides an inclusive atmosphere, particularly attracting the LGBTQ+ community, Argyle Street is home to all kinds of fun. Not only is it a great place to stop by for a signature cocktail or two, but you can also attend everything from cabaret shows to live symphonic music here. Expect drag queens, comedy and lots of laughter, with events that start from as little as £10 per person to attend.

Moskito

If you've got a blank space, baby, and need to fill it with a quirky brunch, then snap up tickets to the Taylor Swift weekend at Glasgow's Moskito. Failing that, there's The One With The Brunch for Friends fans, The Greatest Showman-inspired brekkie and a burlesque extravaganza.
