Looking for burlesque in Brisbane? You're in the right place. Miss BB. le Buff has been teaching tease in Meanjin since 2009 through her School of Performance, Brisbane's longest-running burlesque and variety school. Burlesque classes in Brisbane run in terms at Spring Hill and Yeerongpilly, with showgirl routines, hula hoop, poi and a healthy dose of chaos on the menu.
Her regular night CaBBaret is Brisbane's longest-running regular burlesque event, putting professional artistes on stage beside freshly graduated students. BB also runs burlesque hens parties across South-East Queensland and supplies burlesque, circus, fire and dance performers for events.
Vaudeville heart, twisted wink
BB took one term of burlesque with Lola the Vamp in 2007 and Lola promptly put her on a national tour. She hasn’t stepped off the stage since.
She draws on vaudeville, travelling circuses and her love of animals, then twists the lot into parody. Her acts run from classic tease to hula-hoop spectaculars to sideshow strangeness. She’s one half of The Fanny Bam Bams, who won Best Duo at The Busties in 2014 and she has long been the face of the Brisbane Vintage Fashion Fair.
