Bent Burlesque 2026

"An Orgy of Glamour and Daring"

✨Bent Burlesque is celebrating its 15th year. Bent is a considered evisceration of all things pretty, fluffy and sweet- a treat from the subversive pulse of Australia. Satirical, sexy and outrageously hilarious, this is where burlesque meets art whilst having a back street dalliance with social incongruencies and a wholehearted disembowelling of the heteronormative paradigm.

Australia's Queen of Burlesque and World Queen of Burlesque 2012 presents a diverse cast with theatrical enchantments from the LGBTQIA+ performance underbelly of Australia.

Wild, shocking and delightful, Bent Burlesque never fails to pack a punch - or a fist.

This is a ribald event showcasing Australia's best vajazzle razzlers blowing you away with their twisted tease, erratic erotica, carnal carnivalia and grotesque burlesque.

Gratutious, highly skilled, dark glamour.
