Festive Fun to come!

Very soon! May 9-12, I shall be in Auckland attending, performing at, teaching at, socialising at, squealing at, the New Zealand Burlesque Festival.

When the framed publicity photos are released, THEN we get excited! It's really happening!
And I get to share a chunk of stage time with my favourite Grumpy young Man, Clever Hansel. We are building up our set, turning solos into duets and generally having as much fun as two freaks, a ukulele and a guitar can have on a week night (that's a surprising amount!)
If you'd like to come and see us as well as all the other amazing humans performing, the show I/we are performing in is on Friday 10 May click here for more information.

2 out of 3 ain't bad!!

This will take pride of place on my Wall of Bling
On 23rd March at the Phoenix in Auckland, I had the awesome job of co-hosting the NZ Burlesque Industry Awards (also known as The Golden Garters).
It was an amazing night! Performances by Pixie Twist, Lilith LaLune, Anglebert Humpermink and the Roaring Antoinettes. Co-Host Mae de la Rue from Sydney and I did a fun duet version of Razzle Dazzle 'Em.
It was so much fun collaborating with Mae - we had dinner together during the previous week and planned shenanigans! Photos will be forthcoming soon we hope!
The fabulous Mae de la Rue from Sydney won Honorary Kiwi!
 And I am very, very honoured to receive the award for Favourite MC 2019. It will join the 2017 award for the same on my Red Wall of Bling. And the 2018 award Clever Hansel and I received for Favourite Non-Striptease Routine. I was nominated for favourite MC that year too, so two out of three ain't bad!

The 2019 award for Favourite Non-Striptease act went to my darling friend Mr Lola Illusion for his delicious Lola in Love.
The whole schedule of winners is here on the NZ Burly Awards website.
