Chastity Belt

The First Lady of Frivolity. 

One of the UK’s most beloved cabaret artistes; Chastity has been whipping audiences into shape across the country and beyond for nearly a decade, and doesn’t intend to stop any time soon!


A powerhouse of a singer with a razor-sharp wit, she really is the thinking man's crumpet and the crumpet man's thinker. As her name suggests, she can belt with the best of them and has been doing so in some of the top cabaret venues in London and around the country. Including Cafe de Paris, Gin House Burlesque, Proud, Bunga Bunga, Phoenix Arts club, Crazy Coqs, RVT, Cellar Door and her shower room in South London. She has even compered for the Queen of Burlesque herself; Dita Von Teese. 

 

Like every modern woman, she extols the virtues of forward-thinking and gin-drinking, but will happily drop it all for a prospective husband with a beard and strong shoulders. When not being a Mistress of Mirth, she can be found acting, directing, writing and teaching across the capital. 

​

Chastity's inner self is a trained actress and singer who has been performing for the best part of 20 years. She appeared in 'Stepping Out' on London's West End and it is these skills, honed over many years that make her one of the best hosts in London and the UK. She is reliably charismatic enough to get even the most stoic of audience members chuckling. 

​

Well-versed in the corporate events world too, Chastity has hosted formal events and parties for Google, The Ivy, LinkedIn and 20th Century Fox, to name a few.


We can't wait for you to meet her!

Mel Lee

From aerospace engineering to aerial enchantment, Mel Lee has quite literally turned her world upside down (and she’s never looked back)!


While studying for a Master’s in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, Mel stumbled upon the university pole dancing society. What began as a light-hearted escape from the library soon ignited a full-blown passion for movement, artistry, and self-expression.


Even as she soared through the corporate world as an aerospace project manager, Mel realised that perhaps the skies weren’t the limit after all.

At the end of 2022, she took the ultimate leap - swapping spreadsheets for sparkles - and launched herself into a full-time career in pole and aerial arts.


Since then, she’s:

  • Toured internationally as a pole artist with Snoop Dogg
  • Performed worldwide, from London’s cabaret stages to luxury cruise ships
  • Claimed multiple titles, including Miss Pole Dance Scotland, Exotic Generation UK, and PSO Zurich
  • Coached world-renowned talent, including Golden Globe–winning actress Anya Taylor-Joy and Olympian Nile Wilson
  • Judged competitions and led workshops across continents, from New York to Nigeria


Today, Mel Lee's mission is beautifully simple: to inspire others to feel strong, confident, and unapologetically expressive in their own skin.


Strength meets sparkle, and science meets circus!

Beatriz

Born to move and made to mesmerise, Beatriz is a Brazilian dance teacher and performer with an unstoppable passion for samba, with rhythm that runs in her veins.


Having graced stages across the world, and danced across the seas during her years performing on luxury cruise liners, this globe-trotting showgirl is now bringing her fierce energy and irresistible charisma to the dazzling world of burlesque.


Expect hips that hypnotise, smiles that seduce, and a performance that burns brighter than the Brazilian sun itself. Beatriz isn’t just stepping onto the burlesque stage - she's setting it on fire!

  • General Accessibility

    We are very sorry - The Library Theatre currently has no wheelchair or step-free access available.


    Due to ongoing renovation works being undertaken by Sheffield City Council and Sheffield Central Library, The Library Theatre unfortunately cannot accommodate wheelchair users at this time, and there is currently no accessible/disabled toilet available at the venue.


    Access to the theatre involves:


    - Two flights of stairs from the main entrance on Tudor Square down to the foyer/bar area.


    - A short flight of stairs from the foyer/bar up into the main theatre space.


    - An additional flight of stairs inside the theatre leading down into the seating area (unless you select seats at the top of the auditorium, near the entrance).


    - You can view the layout via the seating plan on the ticket page, or see a visual overview in THIS POPUP VIDEO. (Mobile users - please contact us for a video link.)


    Sheffield City Council and Sheffield Library Theatre are working towards long-term improvements to ensure the space becomes more accessible in the future. 


    We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for understanding that this matter is beyond our control.


    If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding access, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
