Brooklyn Ed’s New York Burlesque Calendar
A brief listing of regular burlesque shows and somewhat related cabaret, circus, variety and vaudeville events in the New York area of which I am aware (locations in Manhattan unless otherwise noted). Click on a day of the week to bring up a listing of upcoming events for that day.

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

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), the Nerdlesque 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, there are a growing number of regional multiday festivals in the US and Canada. Check out the Burlesque Festivals Information spreadsheet created by RiRI SynCyr and now maintained by the BurlyCon crew for a listing.
