Founded by Lola LaBelle in 2010 in London, but only in it’s third year in Australia, Burlesque Idol is just as glamorous as ever.
Created to help support emerging talent, Burlesque Idol is a high-energy and deliciously entertaining evening, jam packed with talent, humour and audience participation. Every show features a dazzling array of rising burlesque talents, a comedian host and a panel of judges comprised of burlesque promoters, producers, and world-renowned burlesque artists.
Expect to see some of the country’s top performers showcasing their most unique acts, especially in Sydney tonight as this is the final show before next weeks Grand Final at Penrith Panthers. From glamorous vegas-inspired showgirls, to comediennes who will have the whole room laughing, to poets, opera singers, and so much more. Burlesque Idol celebrates all forms of burlesque, creating a night as entertaining as it is enticing for it’s audience.
Returning this year as the competitions ambassador is 2016 winner Hannie Raegan, a local Sydney performer. Since winning Hannie has been a wonderful face and voice for the competition, could Sydney have winner in its midst yet again?
