Anna Fur Laxis

 

Where do global burlesque superstars go after being voted number 5 in the ‘Burlesque Top 50’ worldwide, first runner up in the Milan Burlesque awards, 2011, and first runner up Miss Exotic World in Las Vegas- the industry’s highest regarded awards ceremony? Well, in her usual "all or nothing" style, Anna Fur Laxis Ninja-d off to Shanghai, where she has undertaken secret weapons and martial arts training. The result? Her brand new act, Assassin. Anna Fur Laxis is available to hire. No mess, no fuss, client confidentiality assured. And she’s dropping into the Sheffield City Hall…

Fred Bear & The Bears

 

Fred Bear is back, and, with his troupe of glorious bears, this time they’ll be enough for a picnic. Allow Burly Q to introduce you to Fred Bear, Dave The Bear and George the Bear -your hungry, hunky, hairy anti-size zero, super-size heroes. The Bear’s unique brand of Bearlesque is a joyous celebration of all things rubenesque, and is guaranteed to make everyone feel just that little bit more fabulous.

 

***** 'Critics' Choice: This Burly, bristly troupe are HOT, HOT HOT! Highly recommended!' – Time Out

 

‘Dave The Bear captivated us all when he sang, so beautiful we collectively sighed and swooned’ - Deep London Magazine

 

Cherry Shakewell

 

Shakewell by name, shake (very) well by nature! Cherry Shakewell is a powerhouse of bumps and grinds, and, with her perfect hourglass figure, sure knows how to tassel and tease. From New York to Australia, Africa to Milan, via Rome, Venice and the Moulin Rouge, Cherry has wiggled and whirled, delivering her own brand of showgirl sparkle and sass to audiences including Richard Branson, Gucci and Colin Farrell.

 

“Queen of kitsch, strutter extraordinaire, wiggler and whirler to the stars, Ms Shakewell really is the icing on the cake!” - Bête Noire

 

Pippa the Ripper

 

With a background in musical theatre, a degree in circus arts and a black belt in charm, Pippa the Ripper is downright deadly on stage. Earning her name by slaying countless audiences, Pippa is a serial killer of the circus and cabaret scene, whether flourishing her hoops, or flying above the crowd on aerial apparatuses. Dare Devil Pippa was last seen flying into the Olympics opening ceremony dressed as Mary Poppins, and performing a handstand on a moving motorbike whilst hula hooping on her foot…

 

“The best hula hoop act I have ever seen”, Simon Cowell.

 

Betty Brawn

 

Born with the grace of her mother and the strength of her father, Betty Brawn is no ordinary lady - she is known around the world as the Strongest Lady Alive! A clear favourite with the Burly Q audience, Betty is a genuine strong lady, presenting an exhilarating array of feats of strength as she tears thick romantic novels, twists solid metal, snaps steel chains and shatters gender cliches. You will laugh, you will gasp and you will walk away smiling from this celebration of what makes us all strong in our own wonderful ways.

 

“Spectacular and very special! People are going to be talking about this non-stop. I can hardly believe it!” - Jo Whiley, Glastonbury Highlights, BBC TV

 

Velma Von Bon Bon

 

Since Velma Von Bon Bon first performed for Burly Q back in October 2010, she has gone on to become one of the brightest rising stars on the UK burlesque scene. With innovative ideas, exquisite costuming and her quirky comedic characterisations, Velma is a veritable tour de force of neo-burlesque hilarity. An English rose plucked from a pop culture nonsense garden, she is endearingly silly and daintily sexual. You’re your eyes peeled, as Velma will be bringing along Fandango, her feathered friend, for her Sheffield debut of new act, ‘Wanted…’
