Burlesque is back in Bruns this July – it’s been a busy year, it’s totally understandable if you haven’t made it to the Brunswick Picture House recently, but this July, they’re bringing one of the most in-demand shows, so this one’s for you –hurly burly, what a girlie!
Bruns does Burlesque returns dripping with pure glamour for a bumper three-week winter season, featuring some of the hottest artists in the biz. Like its sister show, the Cheeky, the previous burlesque seasons have had people talking all over the shire, attracting international artists who would ordinarily play much bigger stages and have scooped up awards worldwide.

This one is no different as they welcome for the first time, Miss Burlesque Australia and Burlesque Hall of Fame member Diesel Darling who is sure to get your motor running and your engine purring, the Danger Barbie herself will be gracing our stage with her unparalleled brand of bubbly and unimaginably dangerous showgirl, while adorned in the most intricately fabulous costumes. And that’s not all… this season the Picture House will host none other than comedy legend – the Prince of Polyester himself, Bob Downe – Bob gasps, ‘I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it… see you at the Winter Burlesque! As host, I know how to keep my balls in the air. Look out for heaps of naughty fun!’
But it doesn’t stop there! Lil’ Cheeky, the family-friendly circus bonanza is back in an all new, all ages circus show that no one – young or old – should miss. It’s got the sass and attitude of the late-night shows but without the guilt of leaving any of the family behind – 13 and 20 July at 2pm with family discounts available.
