A-Z of Burlesque Performers to Check Out

May 6, 2020 | Burlesque

Having spent more than a decade photographing burlesque performers, I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite without creating a list of potential candidates as long as my arm! With that in mind, I set out this month to create an A-Z of notable burlesque performers from all over the world that I highly recommend checking out, featuring several Miss Exotic Worlds, some living burlesque legends and – of course – the current number one performer in the world as voted for by the 21st Century Burlesque community. If you’re currently dipping a toe into the glorious world of burlesque, or perhaps want to brush up on your burlesque knowledge, I 100% recommend grabbing yourself some snacks and getting comfy on your sofa. Enjoy!
