Burlesque Lounge 2026

Welcome to ‘Burlesque Lounge’: A Night of Glamour, Glitter & Global Talent at Doncaster Little Theatre In Support of the Burlesque for Belonging Community Project

Step into a world of sparkle, sass, and show-stopping performances at Burlesque Lounge — a spectacular celebration of burlesque brought to you by the rising stars of Burlesque With Paris and sensational international headliners. Taking place at the beloved Doncaster Little Theatre, this one-of-a-kind event promises an evening of empowerment, entertainment, and unforgettable glamour.

What makes Burlesque Lounge truly special is its mission. This is not just a showcase — it’s a non-profit performance created to support our ongoing Burlesque for Belonging community project. Every ticket sold and every cheer from the audience helps fund free and low-cost burlesque-inspired workshops across Yorkshire and Humberside. These workshops are designed to uplift individuals from all walks of life, especially those who may not typically feel included in traditional dance or performance spaces.

When you join us at Burlesque Lounge, you’re not only witnessing breathtaking acts — you’re helping to build confidence, community, and creativity in places where it’s most needed. The Burlesque for Belonging project fosters empowerment through dance, storytelling, movement, and self-expression. It’s about making space for joy, identity, and healing, and you become part of that mission simply by being in the audience.

The show itself is a glittering spectacle that brings together a mix of bold, expressive styles from the fabulous students of Burlesque With Paris and the world-class artistry of internationally acclaimed headliners. Each performance brings its own flair — from sultry striptease to playful parody, vintage glamour to theatrical storytelling. Expect to be wowed by a kaleidoscope of costumes, character, and charisma as our cast takes you on a journey through the diverse and magical world of burlesque.

And the night doesn’t end when the curtain comes down. After the final bow, we invite you to keep the celebrations going at our official after-party at Mavericks. Join us for a nightcap, a dance, and a chance to mix and mingle with performers and fellow fans. It's the perfect way to soak up the energy of the night and celebrate everything we stand for — inclusion, confidence, and fabulous fun.

By supporting Burlesque Lounge, you’re not just watching a show — you’re standing with a movement. You’re helping to create spaces where people feel seen, celebrated, and free to express who they are. You’re playing a part in someone’s journey of rediscovery, confidence, and community connection. Your support helps us continue delivering the Burlesque for Belonging workshops, empowering individuals to shine, no matter their background, size, age, or experience.

Join us at Burlesque Lounge for a dazzling evening that will leave you inspired, uplifted, and thoroughly entertained. Bring your friends, dress to impress, and prepare to revel in the sparkle, sass, and sensational talent that only burlesque can bring.

Let’s make it a night to remember — and a future full of belonging.
