What is a cabaret act at an event?
Cabaret and burlesque performers bring old-school glamour: feathers, sparkle, live vocals and theatrical routines. At events they are tasteful and fun, pitched to your audience.
Cabaret works well in Parisian, Gatsby and under-the-sea themes, and as a short set between courses at a dinner.
Where it works best
Christmas parties
A glamorous show moment.
Parisian themes
The cabaret heart of the night.
Between courses
A short set to lift a dinner.
Private parties
Milestone birthdays with a theme.
Under-the-sea
Themed cabaret in a treasure chest or shell.
Gatsby nights
Roaring twenties glamour.

Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Bournemouth have rules for performers?
Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.
How much do burlesque and cabaret acts cost in Bournemouth?
There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Bournemouth is 92 miles south-west of central London. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Bournemouth do you cover?
All of BH1, BH2, BH3, BH5, BH6, BH7, BH8, BH9, BH10, BH22 and BH23, including Christchurch, Bransgore, Ferndown, West Moors, West Parley and Trickett's Cross, plus the rest of Dorset and nearby Poole, Ringwood, Verwood and Swanage.
Is burlesque suitable for a work event?
Yes, when it is pitched right. We brief the performers on your audience and keep it glamorous and tasteful.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?
Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
