Pearl Slipper Burlesque to be held at Newport Riverfront
The Pearl Slipper Burlesque will take to the stage at The Riverfront on September 13, marking the first outing of a new touring cabaret show created by South Wales production company Quill & Pearl Presents.
The show is curated and hosted by award-winning performer Oola Pearl, known as 'The Welsh Wonder.'
Ms Pearl said: "Burlesque shows are a brilliant night out; funny, entertaining, sexy and joyful.
"We want everyone in Wales to have the opportunity to come along and be part of the glitz and glamour."
She has assembled a cast of rising stars from across the UK, including Bolly Ditz Dolly, and Pandora Carnage, a Burlesque Idol finalist.
Welsh performers Lili Del Fflur, Goldie Luxe and It's Llewelyn will also appear, alongside Elena Candela, known as 'The Venezuelan Volcano.'
The Pearl Slipper Burlesque is produced by Quill & Pearl Presents, a cabaret and theatre company founded by Oola Pearl and television writer and producer Kit Lambert.
Ms Pearl is also co-producer of the sold-out Wales Burlesque Festival, which took place last year.
Quill & Pearl's shows have already appeared at major venues across Wales, including the Wales Millennium Centre, Swansea Grand and Penarth Pier Pavilion.
The company aims to bring high-quality burlesque to audiences across the country while giving professional performers a platform to shine.
Burlesque is a form of live entertainment that blends comedy, drama, elaborate costumes, storytelling and striptease.
It has a strong tradition of body positivity, self-expression and humour, and is renowned for its inclusive, female-dominated audiences and LGBTQ+ appeal.
Ms Pearl said the show is designed to be accessible and entertaining for everyone.
She said: "Whether you've never been to a burlesque night before, or if you're already a die-hard fan, The Pearl Slipper Burlesque is guaranteed to entertain."
The show is strictly for audiences aged 18 and over.
Tickets are priced at £16.50 and can be booked via the Newport Live website.
