TRANSCRIPT BELOW:

SANTOSHA STORM
May the winds rise for Santosha Storm, a proud disabled woman, dedicated to telling the story her way. Santosha draws water from her decades in studios and on stages, spilling stories from her time as a lover and a mother. A woman that isn’t afraid to approach the unspoken, shine light on the forgotten and bring you some Patriarchy demolition. Louder, prouder, stronger than ever before… Fierce weather warning - Santosha Storm is about to hit.

VENUS DARLING
Venus darling has returned to the stage, as the eldest of tonight's starlets she has a few words of wisdom she'd like to share: OoOohhh. Venus is talented... Venus is amazing.... Venus shines like a winning star... ... Ooooh...

LYLAH BLOOM
Lylah Bloom is here to show you a good time. Bursting with enthusiasm, eroticism, smut and silliness, she wants you to know you’re in good hands with her tonight. Her background in contemporary dance and circus arts inspire her to think outside of the box with her burlesque style and she makes all of her own costumes, including everything you will see her wearing tonight. Rest assured, you’re in for a bloomin' good time

WINCHESTER ANGEL
There's a reason she has been dubbed the gun in a dress. This fallen angel creates an explosion of dark glamour as she graces you with her sultry delights. Enchanting stages across Australia and having the honour of calling herself a resident at Adelaide's finest rooftop entertainment bar that is Nineteen Ten - this tattooed doll will leave you locked and loaded for more. It is the hauntingly beautiful - Winchester Angel!

DELILAH DEL LAMOUR
She may look like an angel in the streets but is quite a devil in the sheets. Delilah Del L’amour is a mischievous minx who has sensually made her way into the hearts and minds of those who've crossed her path since 2019. This wiggly noodle has captivated audiences with her exotic, enchanting dancing with a hint of cheekiness added and a smile that can light up a room. With the sauciness and sex appeal of your mother’s homemade lasagna, you’d be left full of surprises with just enough room for her homemade desserts. Dancing for various shows over the years, she's participated in several competitions and is now a new resident of 1910. Wear your oven mitts or her sweet and tempestuous seductions will surely burn you. She’s the devilish dame with an insatiable flame, she’s Delilah Del L'amour.

CONNIE CURVEBALL
Next up Connie Curveball. The spooky season is upon us, which can only mean one thing: Connie Curveball is emerging out of the coffin and straight into the spotlight. This girly ghoulish glamazon, sought the comfort of the macabre in vintage TV shows like The Munsters and The Addams family, and she walks this red carpet as if it were the very graveyard that she intended to haunt postmortem. Boasting an incomparable resume of song and dance, Connie can take away your breath or bring you back to life Cross your heart and hope to die, it's Connie Curveball.

DIANA DIVINE
Divine by name, but a little more nuanced by nature, our next competitor is a charming chimera of brains, beauty and big ol’ boobies. Mentees call them Uncle Di, and strangers in the supermarket call them a faker… but as long as you don’t call them late to tech, Diana Divine is just happy to be here. Gifted with a love of performance and total lack of dance skill, Di is a loud and proud silly person, taking full advantage of the freedom of expression that burlesque offers. Prepare yourself for sauciness, silliness, and a sucker punch of sarcasm when Diana Divine takes the stage.

VIOLA VERVE
Delighting the senses with decadence & sensuality. Dubbed the ‘Vintage Burlesque Fairy’, Viola is a performer, producer, vintage pinup, and a steadfast in the Adelaide Burlesque community. Viola has graced stages across Australia and produces through her company Viola Verve Productions. Some of her shows include: A Disney Tribute, Beatles Burlesque, & throwback shows to era’s past. She embellished her look tonight with Viola flowers after her namesake, wearing a look that is quintessentially Viola! Viola likes to convey elements of fantasy, glamour and joy throughout her art, and will be showcasing this tonight. This is one alluring bombshell you won’t soon forget!
