The contestants:
Gypsy Viva - Gypsy Viva is a Swiss London based fusion bellydancer, performer and Burlesque artist. She has been practicing various forms of dance since childhood, as well as having dabbled in acting and performance art. After having graduated from the Cheek of it and discovering the world of Cabaret she fell in love with the creativity, freedom and inclusivity which that space holds. Gypsy Viva brings together an eccentric mix of classic retro vibes, 70s circus flair, exotica, and a touch of comedy. Her acts are a fusion of contemporary dance, bellydance, Burlesque and circus arts.
Blu La Loux - Are you ready for a big splash? You are invited to dive...no plunge...in to the cool waters of Miss Blu LaLoux. Expect a cheesy, cheeky and oh-so teasy act to quench your thirst... but don't forget a life jacket, there's some dangerous curves ahead.
Foxi Blue - Foxi Blue is a curvaceous, vivacious bluenette with a razor sharp wit and plenty of t… personality. International burlesque artist and producer, singer songwriter and host, Foxi has fingers in lots of pies. Which is good because she does love a pie.
Calamity Velour - With blend of humour and chaos, Calamity Valour will be baring all. Having graduated from The Cheek Of It! Burlesque school and performed at The Edinburgh Fringe, Calamity proves that funny is sexy. Taking familiar classic burlesque conventions in a whole new direction.
French Candy - Miss French Candy, fell into a rabbit hole during a riot in Paris and ended up in a candy shop in Camden. Since then she walks the streets of London as a queer neo-burlesque performer with a taste for provocation. A Punk with nipple tassels on.
Helena Toy - Helena Toy was born in Newham and raised in Penge so she's a Londoner through and through. Her act is a loving tribute to the wonderful but chaotic city we call home! Her act was developed on the House of Burlesque performance course 2022 and she's since appeared at Burlesque Idol, Bella Whispers Cabaret, House of Burlesque Fresh and Thirst!
Elena Black Witch - A queer disabled London based artist, also co-producer of the show Cabinet of OddiTease. With a penchant for the bizarre and a passion for the extraordinary, Elena presents performances that are theatrical, surreal, and thought-provoking.
Shard O'nay - Shard O’Nay is breaking through the burlesque scene. Much like her name she is intoxicating, captivating and loves to take the audience on a journey. You’ll be on the edge of your seat wondering what her next move will be …
Karma Obskura - The retrofuturist drag doll. Through genre based performance, they employ aspects of sci fi and horror to manifest the voices of marginalised persons from both the past and the future. A lost dolly simply trying to find a toy box they can call home...
The show will be hosted by the incredible drag queen Alotta Nerve! She has been described as an unstoppable force of camp, comedy and costume!
Also featuring performances by
Beatrix Valhalla - Step into the mesmerizing world of Beatrix Valhalla, where timeless showgirl elegance intertwines with the dark allure of the Gothic. With a bewitching stage presence and a flair for the dramatic, Beatrix is a true enchantress of the burlesque scene. And the producer of Wicked Wonderland alongside Belle de Beauvoir - The Sparkling Diamond of Burlesque and Vintage Powerhouses.
Turkish Delight - A special guest producer for the Halloween special. Deliciously sweet and always a treat - Turkish D'Light is the one and only multi award-winning queer Turkish queen of burlesque. As the reigning Legend in the Making winner Hebden Bridge Burlesque Festival, burlesque headliner of South-West Asian queer collective Harem of No One, and co-producer of Cabaret Identitease, she delights audiences across the country. With her signature Turkish belly-dance, ballet, and classic burlesque fusion style and 20+ years of experience in dance performance and choreography, she is guaranteed to make you feel like a sultan!
