Ministry Of Burlesque
Published 17th Feb 2010 by Komedia

Ministry of Burlesque is an uproarious revue of razor-wit and frisky burlesque of 5-Star critical acclaim and sell-out national success. Taking Brit Wit in to the modern era with award-winning international performers, the daring antics of exiguously attired showgirls, the sultriest of sirens and the edgiest comic-cabaret masters, the Ministry is uniquely “at the top of it’s game” (The List).

“Swirling tassels and a whiff of fleeting flesh performing in a space that is part tart’s boudoir and part Oscar Wilde’s living-room with a drunken nod to exoticism and kitsch, this heady concoction is part of an evening of ‘varietease’.” - Scotland on Sunday

Quickly (and repeatedly!) becoming “Critics Choice” (Time Out, London) the slick and seductive show is a favourite of critics, performers and purveyors alike. ‘Raising the barre’ for the entire genre, Ministry of Burlesque has it’s focus firmly on selecting and showcasing the very best of the true burlesque craft – a provocative blend of ’sophisticated variety, historical chic and contemporary cabaret’ – all delivered with 21st century sass and high production values.

“Burlesque Aristocracy” - The Skinny

Popular with celebrities and the showbiz industry itself, the Ministry has already swept the finest venues and fashionable circles in a frenzy of bawdy antics, sizzling sex appeal and musical comedy. With production units in England (Ministry of Burlesque) and Scotland (Blond Ambition Events) the company has toured nationwide and abroad, private and public and after four years of soaring success it is now an industry favourite and yard-stick for others.

“Hilarious! A wonderful show – I loved it.” - Ben Elton

An adaptable format having entertained the glitterati at the Cannes Film Festival, numerous high-profile parties and in-house BBC wrap parties, the Ministry makes many special occasions totally unforgettable.
