DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL


Let me tell you something delicious that some people still haven't seen ... The Velvet Burlesque YouTube channel is gloriously spectacular, well-stocked, and absolutely brimming with burlesque and cabaret magic!


Yes, a whole magical corner of the internet where you can feast your eyes on past performances, cabaret mischief, behind-the-scenes antics, and glitter-soaked moments from the stage.


And if you're the kind of person who loves watching sparkly chaos unfold in high definition while still wearing your pyjamas, then congratulations - this online treasure trove was practically handcrafted just for you!



WHY WE CREATED THE CHANNEL


It’s one thing to hear about what we do as one of the UK’s leading independent burlesque and cabaret companies.

It’s another thing to see it for yourself.


Our YouTube channel exists because:

  • Not everyone can get to a show every time
  • Our performers deserve to be seen and celebrated over and over again
  • Our audience deserves somewhere to binge-feast on fabulousness
  • YOU deserve a place to dive deep into The Velvet Burlesque’s world any time you need a boost of sparkle, sass, or escapism


And between you and me … it’s also an excellent way to fall in love with our shows before booking your next show or workshop ticket!



WHAT YOU’LL FIND ON THE CHANNEL


  • Full performance videos from previous Velvet Burlesque shows
  • Show trailers dripping in glamour and utter gorgeousness
  • Behind-the-scenes footage (including ALL the chaos)
  • Special announcements, competitions, and exclusive updates
  • Magical moments from our stage that deserve to live on forever


And with the new Boss Lady Unleashed series launching soon - trust me - it’s worth subscribing (simply for the upcoming, sweary bloopers!).



A LOVE LETTER TO THE VELVET BURLESQUE AUDIENCE


You’ve told me for years that watching past performances helps you stay connected to the shows, the cast, the community, and this feral BOSS LADY that you’ve grown to love.


So, this is me - us - saying:
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for supporting independent burlesque, cabaret and circus.
You keep the lights on, the glitter stocked, and the dream alive.



BOSS LADY WISDOM


Sometimes the easiest way to reconnect with your own creative spark is simply to watch someone else set theirs on fire.
(Preferably safely!)
