So with the show happening in a few hours time, we thought you would like to meet the lovely in tonight’s newcomer slot… it is none other than our lovely Lolly Follie! Lolly started her burly journey last september when she enrolled on our classes and since attending our advance course in March, made her […]
We loved our showcase of new performers so much last year that we are doing it all over again, July 18! Featuring very new performers who have all come through the Bluestocking classes, and a few old faces who are some of our most successful students, we will be holding our Bluestocking showcase once again […]
We know that, in everyday life, the motto is ‘less is more’. We all want to look naturally lovely, with beautiful barely there make-up, hair flowing naturally, with a gentile persona but when it comes to hitting the stage, that just isn’t going to cut it! You want that back row to see you, your […]
Today’s post is inspired by the ladies currently on the Bluestocking Lounge advance burlesque course. We are at the stage where talk of costume and act theme is important and the look of panic over budgets and general ‘how’, ‘what’ and ‘jesus christ! how the hell can I costume my act on a budget…’ has […]

Daisy Dalore started her burly journey with us in January this year on the Bluestocking six week course, […]
TemplateCV We know a lot of performers are not sure of what to put on CVs when applying for slots on bills so we thought we’d put our heads together and share what we like to see on an application for Bluestocking Lounge shows – and hopefully you performers out there will find some of […]
If you are just starting out on your burly journey, choosing your stage name can be a big thing… Do you want something that makes you stand out, yet “sounds burlesque”, how do you know what will describe you? Why do you need a name at all? Today’s post is here to help… So, why […]
As a new performer, the world of burlesque and cabaret is an exciting one… It can open new doors to new pathways in life, it can open you up to new friends and experiences… You might be offered a lot of shows, which is good, as we bet you are keen to get on that […]
Like every good book, film or theatrical production, when you are creating an act for the stage, you want to hold the audience’s attention from the beginning right through to the end.
