UPCOMING EVENTS 2024/25
Les Femmes Fatales Presents Secret Sisters
They were very… close friends.
Secret Sisters is a burlesque show featuring acts celebrating queer, sapphic, and femme love, and a deep dive into the historic connotation of queerness hiding in plain sight under the guise of femininity. An unapologetic celebration of femininity, sensuality, glamour, and the power of red lipstick, Secret Sisters will leave you desperate for more. But don’t worry……they were only roommates 😉

Les Femmes Fatales Presents Beautiful Neko
Les Femmes Fatales Presents… Beautiful Neko
Secretive and seductive.
Sweet but deadly.
She’s always up to something and it’s usually no good.
A femme fatale is always playing the long con and the long game.
And the game is using her feminine wiles to survive and thrive, at any cost.
Inspired by the film noir genre and the stories they tell.
Les Femmes Fatales rewrites and re-shifts the femme fatal archetype.
What if a femme fatale is a woman who knows how to survive?
What if a femme fatale is simply an unapologetic woman?
Beautiful Neko explores themes of femininity, sexuality and sensuality, power, deviancy and resistance.
A stage full of dangerous and daring showgirls who know that the only way to bloom is to bloom dangerously.
Come for a good time with some bad women.
