We’re a 3-piece Burlesque troupe based in Leeds trained by the beautiful Bella Besame. We consist of Miss Crimson Kiss, Ruby Buttons & Bam-bam Blue. We have a range of routines that we perform, both group & single. We perform mainly neo-burlesque style but we are currently working on a selection of more classic routines, both comical & cheesecake! We are always happy to adapt our acts to suit your night!
A relative newcomer to the burlesque circuit, Ivy has been shimmying
and shaking her way around Northern England for the past six months,
with a wiggle in her walk, a glittering smile and a twinkle in her eye
she graces the stage with a flourish of tease, bump and grind. Always
out to impress, her routines range from the girly, funny and cheeky to
the downright shamefully sexy.
In her spare time she loves to read, being a regular little bookworm
you can often find her in a sunny spot curled up with a good book and
a bag of apples, or in the kitchen, apron on and covered in flour,
baking an array of fabulous cakes. She loves crisp frosty winter
mornings, yellow roses, Gin & Tonics, rainbows, kittens and corsets.
The Dames are a four piece burlesque troupe based in Leeds, consisting of Miss Dee Lite, Lily Von Lush, Lexi Sexx and Vanilla DeRosa, whose looks and performances range from traditional to neo-burlesque.
They have travelled the UK, and have titillated all the major cities.
So be prepared, because the stockings are on, the daggers are out - Get ready for a mind-blowing, tassel-twirling, feather-swirling, cabaret-singing, gun-slinging, good time!
Fräulein Fox has been imported from the northeast German forests of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to the tropical island of England two years ago.
She not only performs a range of Burlesque routines, but also organizes the Coquette Burlesque and Varieté nights together with Daisy De Lux and Pandora Amour in York.
When she is not organizing or performing, she loves to cook or enjoys a nice glass of wine and some good music.

Trudie Scrumptious is a burlesque dancer and a member of the Scarlet Sirens, a Leeds-based burlesque troupe, and interested in all types of modelling, particularly fetish and latex.
Top loves are chocolate, Edith Piaf, and Sailor Jerry's rum; my ambition is to finally get a job tasting chocolate or modelling full time.

Lily de la Mer made her stage debut in January 2008 at D D Tease in Leeds, and since then she has performed at various locations across the country. Lily has a number of acts designed to both tease and delight her audiences. Some are light hearted and dreamy, others darker and more provocative – all of which can be adapted to suit the occasion.
In July 2008 she cultivated her idea for an ‘Under the Sea’ themed vintage shop and ‘Lily de la Mer’s Under the Sea Cavern was opened to the public. Tucked away underneath Aladdin’s Cave jewellery shop in Queen’s Arcade in Leeds, the Cavern resembles a mermaid’s secret collection of only the most strange and beautiful items from everyday life – jewellery boxes, lamps, dresses, costume jewellery and bags to name but a few.
Although fairly new to performing the art of Burlesque, Miss Mimi has been a pin-up model for nearly two years and has stripped and teased her way around the North of England with her scarlet lips and wicked green eyes! Her new routines are traditional, one being a patriotic tribute to the boys on the front line, the other being a yee-haw cowgirl hootenanny, but she keeps it different with her eclectic choice of accompanying music. When not modeling, Miss Mimi loves to make things and has a wide range of tattoo-inspired jewellery and t-shirts for sale. She is constantly on the look out for clothing and accessories from her favourite eras, the 40’s and 50’s and never stops writing as it is a career as well as a great love of hers. Miss Mimi is frivolous, fun and always up for a good time.
Daisy De Lux delights in dancing - from burlesque to ballet to Bollywood. She performs at and organises the fabulous Coquette cabaret with her partners in sparkle Freya and Pandora. When she's not twinkling on her toes you may find her playing the squeezebox, dusting her tiara collection or attending the opera.
Introducing Miss Scarlet Scream in her debut show; she perfected her shimmy and shake and the art of tease through Dalia’s workshop.
Now she is ready to emerge as a fully fledged burlesque siren........
Hobbies include watching horror films and collecting corsets…she just loves that tight laced feeling.
Dreams include perfecting the art of burlesque and becoming a pin up model

Holly Wood has a natural wiggle in her walk and always had an interest in saucy clothing and the sexy tease!
After “graduating” from the Leeds Burlesque classes earlier in the year this is your chance to see “Holly Wood” in her debut show!
When she’s not practicing her pout Charlie can generally be found with a nose stuck in a book and a chilled glass of white wine to hand!
Lady Lipperella is an mysterious character, at times illusive, this silk ribbon
whirling, venetian parasole twirling temptress is to be found in only the most elegant nightspots.
Slick and dangerously provocative, she is a femme fatale without disguise, smoldering before audiences as she performs her innovative
variety of vintage cabaret.
