Press Release

SECRETS OF THE BOUDOIR BURLESQUE 

Supernova 

Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque will return with their premium event ‘Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Supernova’ this Summer. 

 Taking place in Sheffield's oldest live music venue, The Leadmill, on Saturday the 12th July 2014. Founded in 1980, The Leadmill has hosted some of the biggest live acts in the world and 'Supernova' will be no exception as it hosts the best in British burlesque talent on the circuit today. 

 Regarded as Sheffield’s most fun, friendly and affordable burlesque show, Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque remains true to Burlesque’s 19th century roots and showcases a style of performance art which incorporates a blend of satire, striptease and broad comedy into a uniquely entertaining Variety Show. Performers and audience members alike, return time after time to enjoy the nostalgic and glamorous atmosphere created by the event, which is reminiscent of old Music Hall and Speakeasy days gone by. 

 ‘Supernova’ aims to raise the bar even higher by showcasing award-winning burlesque acts from all across the country in Sheffield’s oldest live music venue on a glamorous Saturday evening. There will be burlesque, boylesque, dance, vaudeville, fire, comedy, magic, pole dance, cabaret, circus and striptease acts throughout the event. 

 Our headlining act of the evening is the epitome of vintage glamour, Eliza DeLite. Eliza has sky-rocketed since she first hit the stage in 2008. In 2012 she was crowned ‘Best British Female’ at the World Burlesque Games and has since gone on to perform internationally, including at high profile shows in Las Vegas, Milan, Stockholm, Rome, Switzerland, Istanbul and Berlin. She has established herself as one of the most in-demand performers on the UK circuit, headlining respectable shows across the country and overseas! Her classic Hollywood looks combined with stunning costumes and breathtaking choreography mean that Eliza is a firm favourite with lovers of classic and neo burlesque alike. This July, Eliza will perform the award-winning act which saw her crowned as ‘Best British Female’, as well as one other which has not yet been seen by South Yorkshire audiences. 

 Joining Eliza will be Al Rudge, and he is one of the most original and bizarre acts to invade the magic and variety scene. His fast paced, razor wit and whirlwind approach to comedy magic has made him a hit. Al has played clubs, burlesque balls, parties, the streets and private functions from London to New York and never fails to leave the audience amazed and laughing. Whether it is, stand up, television or corporate, Al never fails to keep the audience laughing and applauding all the way. Al has opened for the likes of: Alan Carr, Lenny Henry, Jo Brand, Slade, Frost, Rolf Harris, Archie Kelly, John Hegley, Garry Delaney and many more familiar names of television and music. 

 Next on the bill is the spell-binding Satine Di Monte and her dance partner, Animus. Satine is a unique Burlesque Performer. Known for her tantalizing and dazzling acts and she has been performing since July 09. 2010 saw Satine in the ‘UK’s Top 7 Best New Burlesque performers’ in both ‘Delicious’, ‘Ministry of Burlesque’ and ‘Madame JoJo’s’ competitons, and she was also in SKY 1′s ‘Got to Dance’ as well as ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. 

 Secrets’ resident Showgirl, Raven Noir, will also join the bill. Raven is a Graduate of the Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Course and a you could say she is a star pupil, after taking to the stage in 2012 she quickly became a well known and popular performer on the burlesque circuit and has since become an international performer when she undertook a 44 show engagement in Australia earlier this year. She can now boast performances in Italy and Paris, as well as an appearance on National television. See her debut a much anticipated BRAND NEW bed of nails act at Supernova this July... 

 No Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque event would be complete without a performance from its Founder and creator, Deadly Nightshade, an established Performer, Promoter, Pin up Model and Burlesque Tutor. Deadly has appeared on stages up and down the country for the past six years. Star of many Burlesque documentaries and publications, Deadly has featured in ‘Burlesque Bible’ as a recommended Burlesque Tutor, and she has also appeared on the TV with the BBC and Channel 4. 

 Our Boylesque this Summer is provided by none other than Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque regular and Personal Trainer, Sir Midnight Blues. Sir Midnight Blues shows us how boylesque and burlesque should be done. With his mix of strip tease and pole dance and a body to die for, he is a unique King of boylesque and he will be taking his pole dance INTO the audience this July as the stage just simply will not suffice for such an amazing act! 

 To complete the bill we have performances from Penny Feathers, a burlesque and cabaret dancer with over 5 years experience on the burlesque scene. Penny’s acts vary from comedy to cute cheesecake and she brings her bubbly and cheeky personality to Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque this July with her dynamic and energetic performances. 

 Our Compere for the evening will be winner of ‘Burlesque Idol’ 2012, Violet Blaze. A dynamic performer from Brighton, England, Violet brings life to the stage in a flash!

Fright Night

Taking place on Sunday the 1st of September, Secrets will turn West Street Live in Sheffield into a House of Horrors…

With a headlining acts fresh from The London Burlesque Festival and Australia plus a huge variety of Secrets regulars, this will be an event to remember!

Our headliner, Miss Odelia Opium grew bored of life in her German hometown of Lieblingen and so she ran away with the Midnight Circus. Now she knows that Victorian goodtime girls have more fun! Since 2011 she has performed at many renowned venues across London and the UK. Her unique, story-telling routines are sure to excite every audience and give you a history lesson of the sexy kind! This September she will bring a Seance to Secrets as well as a Chinese Ghost Wedding!

Australian burlesque performer, Ava Iscariot typically combines her innocent, blonde curled, cherubic appearance with a strikingly contrasting dark, deviant and feisty nature. Ava’s acts take on strong themes, narrative, imagery and pair with a rock and metal soundtrack. This combination has led to her being notoriously dubbed, ‘Shirley Temple on Jack Daniels’.

One Day Beginners Burlesque Course

We have been teaching our infamous ‘fun, friendly and affordable’ Burlesque Courses since 2011, producing pupils that have gone on to be very popular and successful Burlesque Performers such as Raven Noir. Secrets are passionate about teaching REAL burlesque skills and allowing our pupils to develop their own character and confidence, as a result of this, we DO NOT teach dance. If you are looking for a group dance class then our lessons might not be for you, our emphasis is on fun and individuality, not regiment and we prefer to focus on the more exciting burlesque skills such as stocking and glove removal, corsetry, character and confidence building.


Our tutors are Secrets Founder, Deadly Nightshade and Secrets Performer, Cherry Du Bois, their combined credentials include seven years performance and modelling experience and six years experience of showcasing very successful burlesque events and coaching new performers. Their success and reputable skills have been noted by the ‘Burlesque Bible’ and past pupils alike.

“Quite literally the most fun I’ve had in years!” 

“I loved the Friendly, Girlie atmosphere and have made a couple of new friends too. I also loved having the opportunity to be creative and come up with the concept and choreography for my own routine. I now feel sexy again and ready to embrace my new found confidence.” 

“I think the selling point for me is that this is not a class about learning to take your clothes off (stripping) it is about freedom, self expression and empowerment. Deadly and Cherry were both fabulous and supportive teachers, bringing a different approach and encouraging us to develop our own way to be Burlesque.” 

“You will be amazed at the confidence, knowledge and friends you will gain in just a few short weeks, even if you don’t want to perform on stage, I would still say go for it, no matter what age you are, what weight you are you will be amazed at the power of a woman’s body, And how to use it.” 
 -Class members Feb-April 2012. 

 Our One Day Beginners Burlesque Course aims to teach an in-depth look at the World of Burlesque through the eyes of a beginner. The course will aim to give you an understanding of burlesque, boost your body confidence and general confidence, help you to keep fit, feel sexy and have fun!

Tutors: Cherry and Deadly

We will begin with an introduction to burlesque and it’s history, before moving on to learning a few basic Burlesque poses and putting them all together to create a Burlesque routine. We will then add in glove and stocking removal with a workshop on Confidence and character-building at the end.

The Course will be five hours long and this will include an hour’s break made up of two fifteen minutes and half an hour. It will take place in the upstairs room in The Shakespeare, 146 -148 Gibralter Street, Sheffield, S3 8UB.

Please bring your own pair of opera length gloves and a pair of cheap or old stockings.

We would suggest that you wear/bring a short sleeved top and a skirt/shorts/hotpants (for ease of stocking removal) and a pair of heeled shoes. Please feel free to embrace the Vintage look by dressing glamorously if you wish, but please do not wear anything that will restrict your movement like a corset or a pencil skirt. Keep clothing loose.

Feel free to bring a bottle of water with you and snacks or a packed lunch. 

Course Times and Prices: 
Sunday 4th August 2pm – 7.00pm. Price: £80.00. 
Sunday 18th August 2pm – 7.00pm. Price: £80.00 

***All Course fees must be payed in advance of the Course and no refunds will be given if you miss the Course for any reason. If, in the unlikely event that we have to cancel the Course, a full refund will be given to you.***

Please note: tickets will not be posted out to you, instead you will be issued with a unique booking reference from our ticket provider which you must make a note of/bring with you to the show.
