Burlesque is historically considered a parody of culture, a literary genre, a sister of theater, and a fun form of variety entertainment. Read more at, “What is Burlesque?”, “Why Do People Take Burlesque Classes?“, and “The Best Burlesque Websites.”
By curating a burlesque directory of intriguing Burlesque Shows, Burlesque Troupes, Burlesque Supper Clubs, Burlesque Events, Burlesque Productions, and Burlesque Performers, the diversity of the industry can begin to be understood. This isn’t to be a comprehensive list of the Burlesque Industry, as there are numerous websites and even niche burlesque directories that already exist.
Also note, this directory includes burlesque, pole dance, drag, sideshow, theatre, circus, BDSM & Kink, and many other forms of nightlife events and productions specifically curated by Switchress Shay AuLait.

The London Cabaret Club was co-founded by CEO Evelina Girling and Artistic Director Doni Fierro in November 2013. The company was born after noticing a gap in the market for a unique type of luxury entertainment combining fine dining, world-class performances, and impeccable service. LCC was originally launched as a pop-up within the Arts Club, which was then followed on by sold-out residencies at One Mayfair and The Collection in South Kensington. Eventually, its permanent home was found in The Bloomsbury Ballroom in Holborn, a stunning 1920s building that reflects the elegance and grandeur The London Cabaret Club has to offer.
