Burlesque events in the UK

Burlesque is theatre with a wink: glamour, comedy, live music and the art of the slow reveal, staged everywhere from pub back rooms and arts centres to grand touring theatres. This page gathers what is coming up across the UK, from regular cabaret nights and touring revues to festivals, competition nights and beginners’ workshops where you can learn the basics yourself. Every listing is checked against the organiser’s, venue’s or ticket seller’s own page before it appears here, and tickets are always bought direct from the organiser. Dates and line-ups can change, so check the booking page before you travel.
