Weekly Burlesque Show Roundup
April 10th-16th, 2025
Hello Burlesque Fans!
Lots to see this weekend!
NEWS!
It’s Working 🥲
Had to share this lil bit of a win! I was in a show this past weekend with an out of town performer, and I asked what brought them to Denver. Come to find out, they were here to vacation with a friend, but decided to see if any local shows were casting to perform while they were here. And where did they find this casting call?? THE DENVER BURLESQUE HUB. This is why I started this. To make it easier for people to find local burlesque, whether it’s audience members trying to find local shows to attend, or performers looking for resources. It’s WORKING! Ahhhhhh!

Alabastard Productions proudly presents Blassphemy, where sin, heavy music, and unholy debauchery collide! This isn’t your typical burlesque show—it's a metal-fueled, butt-shaking, boundary-breaking celebration that pushes our performers to unleash their inner sinner (or just inner headbanger). With extended stage time averaging 12-15 minutes per performance, each artist has the time to dig deep and really bring some nonsense to the stage, and into the crowd.

Growing up on the Texas-Mexico border, she brings a fiery kick of Hispanic and Latin flair to her performances as an homage to her rich cultural heritage.
