Performers:
Gina Stirling: Gina has been performing internationally in Burlesque, cabaret and musical theatre for over a decade. Some of her career highlights include being voted into 21st Century Burlesque’s ‘Top 50 Most Influential Burlesque Figures’ in 2021, headlining Perth International Burlesque Festival 2022 and in 2024 headlining Nasty Burlesque Festival Italy. As well as being a performer, Gina is a Burlesque Teacher, she is extremely passionate about body confidence, sexual empowerment, compersion and seeing her students flourish through dance.
Lady Blue Phoenix has been on the scene since 2016 and has been making their name known in the Burlesque world. This award winning international performer is a Foxes troupe member, a plus size, gender fluid, bisexual LGBTQIA and disabled burlesque performer who is a force of nature on stage with a helping of charisma and confidence not to missed. You can always expect the unexpected when they're performing as their acts range from homages to classic, lashings of neo burlesque, some skill based with their poi, and their political power house act.
Desperately clinging on to 2005 emo culture and being a little bit too obsessed with cemeteries, Alabama Whirley is the ghoul of your nightmares. When she’s not trying to summon an entity to keep as a pet, she is the producer of Glorified Cabaret and part of the team behind the scenes of Liverpool Horror Club.
Introducing Dawn Voz, a diva dripping with grace and ferocious face. Captivating audiences with theatrics and technique, Dawn embraces liberation with every step, revealing their truest, most authentic form through a blend of contemporary yet classical allure.
Ember Orchid is an international drag king sensation with highlights including performing at Rebel Kings in California, and of course being a resident performer at The Spare Rib!
