Ministry Of Burlesque’s High Tease
Published 17th Aug 2010 by Matt Costello

Ministry of Burlesque’s High Tease is an uproarious revue of razor-wit and frisky burlesque of 5-Star critical acclaim and sell-out international success. Taking Brit Wit into 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, High Tease 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 burlesque genre, High Tease 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.
“…A fantastic, glittering, liberating, cheekily funny night…The sheer joy of these stars’ wicked imagination, not just in their fabulous choice of names but in their sassy performance, makes this show everything Burlesque should be. ***** ”- Edinburgh Guide
Popular with celebrities and the showbiz industry itself, High Tease has already swept the finest venues and fashionable circles in a frenzy of bawdy antics, sizzling sex appeal and musical comedy. High Tease tours nationwide and abroad, is produced for private and public and after 4 years of soaring success it is now an industry favourite and yard-stick for others who follow. An adaptable format having entertained the glitterati at the Cannes Film Festival, numerous high-profile parties and in-house BBC wrap parties, High Tease (however you take yours) makes many special occasions totally unforgettable.
“Be ready for high camp comedy, risqué song and Victorian villainy in a night out without a single-entendre in sight.” - The List
