The first of our performers to be profiled is a rising star and local girl made good, or perhaps “local bad girl made good ”
First staggering bambi-legged and doe eyed onto the burlesque circuit in late 2009, it was immediately obvious Velma Von Bon Bon was destined for the top. Velma’s comedic style is a cheeky bottom flash at the stoics of society and her inventive antics have lit up stages across the northwest. She was awarded winner of the prestigious Tournament of Tease July heat, cementing her growing reputation while proving what we’ve known for a while: that Velma brings something new and exciting to the burlesque world.
No wonder then that she has been shaking her booty in exotic locations as diverse as Leeds and Huddersfield!
If this pint sized pocket rocket can’t put I’ll smile on your face she’ll eat your hat!
When not burlesquing, Velma can be found fiddling on her purple fiddle with hottest all girl jazz band in town, the “Flamin’ Mamies”.
