About this Event
The Apprentease ACT State Final 2026
This is where Canberra’s next wave of burlesque performers steps into the spotlight — for real.
The Apprentease ACT isn’t a polite little talent show. It’s a live, fun burlesque competition where emerging artists put their acts on the line and show us what they’re made of.
You’ll see performers at the edge of their comfort zones: trying new things, taking risks, and bringing fully-formed acts they’ve worked damn hard on. Some will be classic. Some will be weird. Some will surprise you. All of them are brave.
This night is about growth, guts, and great striptease.
Expect a room full of love, nerves, cheers, gasps, and the kind of energy you only get when performers really care about what they’re doing. Titles and prizes are on the table, but honestly? Making it through this night is the win.
Come support local talent, scream a bit, and witness the moment someone realises they belong on stage.
One night. Big feelings. Very good burlesque.
Strictly 18+ only.
