Pack your pasties: London Burlesque Festival with Catherine D’Lish and Jim Rose

The London Burlesque Festival, a celebration of the art, humor, music, and beautiful people of modern burlesque, is gearing up for its seventh iteration. The festival runs from May 10-19 this year, and tickets are going fast.

Produced by Chaz Royal, one of the guiding lights behind the art form’s modern revival, this year’s festival features a few luminaries. Catherine D’Lish, one of the best-known dancers in the business, will be appearing alongside guest host Jim Rose, founder of the famous Jim Rose Circus. Attractions vary from a Hollywood revue, a dark and twisted cabaret, male-populated boylesk, and a circus that definitely isn’t for the kids. Tickets are on sale now, with some days already gone, so grab yours and get lost in feather-fanned and corseted wonder.
