Get ready, Victoria—two nights of dazzling performances, extravagant costumes, and undeniable artistry are coming your way this February! 

The Isle of Tease Burlesque Festival is returning to the Victoria Conference Centre Theatre for its third year, and it promises to be a weekend you won’t forget. 

From February 21st to 22nd, this year’s festival is set to ignite the stage with a captivating blend of glamour and electrifying performances, celebrating all things burlesque with artistry and creativity.

Not only does this festival pay tribute to burlesque as an art form, it also places a spotlight on diversity—bringing together performers from a range of backgrounds, including Indigenous artists, performers of colour, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. 

It’s all about pushing boundaries and redefining burlesque, ensuring that people of all ages, sizes, and body types are represented on stage! 

Headlining this year is global burlesque sensation, Frankie Fictitious. Described as an icon in the world of burlesque, Frankie has graced stages worldwide, making waves with her remarkable talent and impeccable style. 

Known for her larger-than-life costumes and magnetic stage presence, she holds titles such as Miss Exotic World (2019-2021), Miss Viva Las Vegas (2017), and has been featured in Dita Von Teese’s Night of Teese.

Other talents ready to dazzle audiences include La Dame Derrière, Queerly Femmetastic, and Eddi Licious. 

These incredible performers are promising to take you on a whirlwind journey through the many faces of burlesque, blending humour, drama, sensuality, and artistry into every act. 

Alongside these headliners, the festival will showcase both local and international talent, creating a jam-packed lineup that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Tickets are around $54.50 per show for standard seating, but if you’re hoping to go both days, you can get a weekend pass discount. 

Simply use the code: WEEKENDPASS for a 20% discount when you purchase tickets for both nights.

They also offer premium and VIP ticket options if you’re hoping to spice up your experience even further.
