The Melbourne Festival of Tease
The first weekend of May, every year.
The Melbourne Festival of Tease isn’t just another burlesque festival, it’s a bold new movement.
The latest jewel in Naarm’s nightlife, a burlesque celebration like no other.
What’s on the menu? Big band headliner shows, a fabulous competition, hands-on workshops, a buzzing community market, and the kind of after party you’ll be telling stories about for years.
Founded by long time collaborators: Lauren Thiel (The Real Thiel, Big Clit Energy) & international burlesque powerhouse Bettie Bombshell,
The Melbourne Festival of Tease brings the best of the best together: iconic legends, ones to watch, and world-class talent all under one roof.
This weekender unites the brightest stars of the global stage with the rich, velvet heart of Melbourne’s own scene.
We honour the legends who came before us, revel in the brilliance of now, and step boldly into the future of tease.
