The Revelry Of Tease sprang to a vibrant start as Scarlett Valentine, a shining star from Selby Starlets, ascended the stage. Her act, "Welcome To Burlesque," was nothing short of mesmerising, marking an electrifying commencement to the evening's proceedings. Adorned in a beautifully detailed corset paired with lace ruffle shorts, Scarlett Valentine’s initial disrobing of her gown set the theatre alight with cheers.

The stage was set for an unforgettable performance as Pink Champagne, Pixie Bella, and Tantalizing Topaz from Selby Starlets prepared for their first foray into the spotlight. Adorned in corsets that sculpted their figures, fishnet tights that whispered of classic burlesque allure, and lacy shorts peeking out under the glimmer of rhinestone garters, they embodied the essence of cabaret glamour. Their routine to "Candyman" was a whirlwind of energy and charm, as they expertly twirled their canes, their movements synchronised to perfection, captivating the audience with every step and spin. The air was filled with the sound of roaring applause, a testament to the electrifying impact of their debut.

As they took their final bows, it was clear that the trio from Selby Starlets had not only met the expectations of their audience but had soared beyond them, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who witnessed their spectacular entrance into the world of burlesque performance.

Lilly Rose, from Goole Goddesses, made her mark with an enchanting solo number titled "Singing In The Rain." Despite facing an unexpected challenge when her umbrella gave way, she exemplified the true spirit of a performer by not only continuing with her routine but doing so with added flair and a playful bum wiggle, much to the delight of the audience. Her ensemble sparkled under the spotlight, consisting of a sequin show jacket complemented by a snug corset and lace shorts, which elevated her performance to new heights. The crowd’s enthusiastic cheers were a testament to Lilly Rose’s captivating presence on stage and her ability to turn a potential mishap into a memorable moment of the show. Her performance was a blend of grace, resilience, and humour, embodying the essence of what it means to stand alone in the spotlight and shine.

Grandma Licious, from Selby Starlets, took to the stage with an air of mystery, her hair neatly tucked into a towel and her figure veiled by a satin gown. As the first chords of "Man I Feel Like A Woman" filled the room, anticipation built among the audience. With a dramatic flourish, she discarded her towel, and as the routine progressed, her gown followed, unveiling a striking ensemble underneath. The reveal of her corset, adorned with a sequin tassel belt and sparkling rhinestone trousers, elicited gasps and applause from the crowd. However, it was her audacious decision to go down to nipple tassels that truly captivated everyone present. This bold move not only showcased Grandma Licious's confidence and flair for the dramatic but also marked a significant moment in the evening, as she became the first performer from Burlesque With Paris to embrace such a daring level of reveal. The audience's enthusiastic response underscored the empowering and liberating spirit of burlesque, celebrating individuality and the art of performance. Grandma Licious's act stood as a powerful statement, challenging conventions and leaving a lasting impression of strength, beauty, and unabashed self-expression. Her performance, a blend of humour, sass, and empowerment, was a definitive highlight of The Revelry Of Tease, earning her a special place in the hearts of all who witnessed it.

It was then Tempt La Animal who took centre stage, leaving the audience spellbound with her electrifying performance to "Chandelier". Clad in striking fishnet tights complemented by an all-encompassing body suit, she epitomised the essence of burlesque with every move she made. Armed with a piece of net as her prop, she wove magic into the air, blending fluidity and grace with the raw, visceral energy of her dance. Her routine was a testament to her prowess and versatility as a performer, showcasing not just her flexibility but her ability to tell a story through movement. The moment she executed her flawless splits, the venue was filled with an air of astonishment, further heightened as she engaged in seductive bump and grind floor work. Her performance was a visual feast, a perfect blend of sophistication and sensuality, which held the audience captivated in a collective trance. What set Tempt La Animal apart was not just her physical agility but the palpable passion and emotion she brought to her act.

As Paris Chantilly made her way onto the stage, the room fell into an expectant hush, the audience's anticipation palpable. Clad in a costume that glittered with jewels, she was the embodiment of burlesque glamour, her presence alone commanding attention. With a flourish, she began her 'Love Me' routine, every movement a testament to her mastery of the art. The Isis wings fluttered like translucent dreams around her, catching the light and casting ethereal shadows. One by one, she divested herself of her attire, her actions deliberate and teasing, drawing the audience deeper into the performance. The gown was the first to be discarded, followed by the Isis wings, each piece removed not just as an act of undressing but as part of the dance itself. When she twirled, her skirt panels flew off, leaving the crowd mesmerised by her skill and the reveal of her peacock fans. These fans, with their opulent beige feathers, became extensions of her, hiding and revealing in a tantalising dance that captivated every onlooker. The routine crescendoed to its climax as Paris Chantilly, now adorned only in her pasties, wielded her peacock fans with precision, her performance a dazzling blend of vulnerability and power that left the audience in rapturous applause.

As the audience refilled their glasses and settled back into their seats, the anticipation in the air was palpable. The stage was set for the second half of the show, where the thrill of the tease was about to unfold before our eyes.
