The Prime Time Burlesk Festival, held on 16-17th May 2026 showcases the talents of performers over 40 years of age in burlesque and variety.
Welcome to Prime Time!
The Prime Time Burlesk Festival, created by Ana Seethe and Emmeline Spankhurts, showcases the talents of performers over 40 years of age in burlesque and variety that may not be able to equitably access performance opportunities as their younger counterparts.
By showcasing the talents of performers over 40 years of age we aim to empower older performers and highlight that aging out of performing doesn’t have to happen, that all shows can benefit from including the talents of older performers in their cast.
The Prime Time Burlesk Festival over 16th and 17th May 2026 will be an extravaganza that only age and experience could create. Dancing with decades of energy, crafting stories that hold secrets yet comfort hearts, and unlocking the sensuality that only age can perfect.
Doors open at 4pm for a 5pm start. Show runs for 2 hours plus intermission. Your ticket gives you entry to the show and the club, and you are welcome to stay until closing.
You must be over 18 to attend this event. There will be security on the door. Snacks and drinks available for purchase at the bar. No BYO.
