GET you feather boa and fishnet tights at the ready, the International Burlesque Festival is coming to Perth.

Now in its 11th year, the festival is a showcase for some of the best burlesque, cabaret and variety performers in the world.

Hosted by hilarious drag queen BeBe Gunn, the festival will feature worldwide debuts, the best local talent from Perth, and iconic international performers like ‘Queen of Burlesque’ Samson Night from the US and ‘Princess of Burlesque’ Margo Mayhem.

The festival kicks off with The Tease Factory at the Court Hotel from 7.30pm-9:30pm on October 11, followed by the Club Burlesque Gala on October 12 at the Heath Ledger Theatre in Northbridge (later that night there’s a Glitter Crash afterparty at Connections Nightclub).

In the lead up to the festival, a Charity Student Showcase for burlesque performers will be held at The Court Hotel, 50 Beaufort Street on September 27. There will also be burlesque workshops (dates to be announced).
