Our Fringe World Adventures!

What a busy and exciting start to the year! We here at Lady Velvet Cabaret have been kept very busy throughout February with the fantastic Fringe World festival! With eighteen shows, our fabulous performers were very busy - often performing twice or more in one night!

Some of our Burlesque Garden cast, including our handsome stage manager!


Our troupe participated in two shows, both at the beautiful Treasury venue in the heart of the Perth CBD. For many years a deserted and damaged building, the Treasury was once more brought to life, but rather than filling its halls with tax office workers, Fringe World filled them with fun and frivolity, and thousands upon thousands of excited and enthusiastic ticketholders! Audience members at our Burlesque Garden shows in the Treasury Cabaret were rewarded for their fashion-forward clothing by our host Lucinda Panties, who gave away one best dressed prize per night to our fashionable followers! Lucinda also took our audience members on an enchanting journey through Lady Velvet Cabaret's Burlesque Garden, featuring everything from the daintiest butterfly to the most wild and seductive Poison Ivy. Our performers wowed crowds over six shows, many of them completely sold-out! Read a review of our Burlesque Garden show here.

We also featured in the incredible Lucha Royale, a fast-paced, physically demanding and hilarious Mexican wrestling show! Our troupe teamed up with flipping, flying masked Luchadores to present a fun and crazy show, interspersed with delicate contortionism, breathtaking burlesque and sexy snake dancing! Lucha Royale thrilled thousands of audience members in its 18 show sell-out season at Fringe World, and we hope to see lots more of our lovely audience members at Lucha's full-length shows at the WA Italian Club (the next one is June 16!).

Probably the most exciting news from Fringe World is of course the results of the hotly contested Fringe World awards! We are proud to announce that the Lucha Royale has been awarded the Perth Now People's Choice Award! We are so pleased with all our performers, whether members of Lady Velvet Cabaret, Azure Entertainment or EPW Perth, who put in a huge amount of effort night after night to make the Lucha Royale the best it possibly could be! Thanks must also go to our awesome audience members who cast their votes for us as their favourite Fringe World act! Congratulations to all the other award winners for their respective categories, and we can't wait for next year's festival! Read more about the Fringe World Awards here.


Much Love,


The team at Lady Velvet Cabaret
