Behind every flawless reveal is a performer who knows their worth … and how to get paid, protected, and prepared. This two (2) hour workshop with Honey De Lulu is all about taking the mystery out of the business side of burlesque so you can step on stage knowing your finances are as tight as your choreo.Designed for emerging burlesque artists who want to treat their art like the business it deserves to be, Honey will strip back the confusion around biz vs hobby, ABNs, trading entities, invoicing, insurance, and money management, and replace it with clarity, confidence, and a little sparkle.
Together we will explore:
✨Choosing the right business structure for your stage persona … hobbyist? … or are you shooting for the stars Baby?
✨Setting up your ABN and legal business identity without the headache
✨Tax and GST basics every performer should understand (yes, even glitter deductions)
✨Invoicing like a professional so you get paid on time and without awkward follow-ups
✨Bookkeeping tools that won’t K*ll your creative spirit
✨Tracking your income for reporting and so slow seasons don’t steal your sparkle
✨How will your bank or lender treat your income for borrowing money either now or in the future
✨Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance. What is it, what you need and why
Whether you’re fresh out of your first showcase or already collecting feathery frequent flyer points, this session will help you feel grounded, empowered, and in control of your burlesque business. After all, confidence isn’t just sexy on stage, darlings, it’s powerful behind the scenes too.
Takeaway tools, tips and templates for success.

✨Why Honey?✨
You may know Honey De Lulu as the eternal beginner, buzzing and bumbling about as a Bombshell student since 2021. She’s sweet, sticky, and just a little delusional in the very best way.
But by day, she’s Leah Hudson, a finance professional and educator with more than 25 years (cough) of experience in law, banking and finance, mortgage broking, business training, and helping people untangle money matters without shame or confusion. As the CEO of a nationally recognised impact driven finance training college, she’s built a career training professionals to serve their community by translating complex financial concepts into practical, human advice people can actually use and empowering others to make informed life changing decisions.
What our hive has given her in self confidence, body love, and sweet sweet joy, she now offers back in gratitude to the art form, community and academy that has changed her forever!
Her honeyed warmth will make your finances feel approachable and even a little bit fun … because confidence, like honey, is best served generously and with a wink.
