REMEMBER: This list is far from
complete and is subject to change as
schedules and venues may suddenly change. Check any links beforehand for last
minute schedule changes and ticket/cover charges. (Note that many of these
events are also listed on FaceBook.) I try to update
this listing at the start of the week so let me know via e-mail of other
shows or updates at least a week in advance.
There are a
large number of annual burlesque related events in New York worth noting:
Burlesque at the Beach; the Coney Island Mermaid Parade (June); Coney Island
Rockabilly Festival; and, of course, the New York
Burlesque Festival. Aside from the big national events such as the
Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas and Tease-O-Rama, there are a
growing number of regional multiday festivals in the US and Canada. For a
partial listing, click here for Brooklyn Ed’s Burlesque Festival Calendar. You can also check out the
Festivals listings from Maxwell
Wood and RiRI SynCyr.
