The Cheese Girls Serve Up an Evening of Burlesque, Cabaret, Drag and Sideshow

The Cheese Girls, born in the award-winning all female circus Chest of Wonders, will bring you to your knees with their unique and sexy style of comedy burlesque. However, these talented babes learned to dance before they could talk, and so will be taking their first step into the world of MCing. Every night The Cheese Girls will serve you a different delicious platter of some of Melbourne's hottest new and established burlesque, boylesque, cabaret, drag and sideshow performers.

The Cheese Girls are no strangers to entertainment, and while they have mastered the art of tease with their comical twists and tongue in cheek style of dance, they now want to open their stage to some of Melbourne's hottest new and established performers. Every night The Cheese Girls will introduce you to a New Group of their friends.

World record holder Camilla Cream will fluff her feather fans; Suicide Girl Hopeful Ainslie Adams will flutter her full lashes; "Best Comedic Performer" at the Australian Burlesque Idol Laydee Bombay will have you in stitches; sideshow queen Elle Diablo will brandish her razor-sharp sword; Singer and performer John "Starman" Frankland pays homage to the otherworldly presence of glam rock and androgyny that was David Bowie; and Magenta Rose will tempt you in ways you've never experienced. The dazzling world of boylesque and drag will be introduced to you by Shows Stopper, Miss Caroline Springs and winner of Black Cherry's "Burlesque Knock-out" competition Dear Bobby. There will be enchanting musical stylings of cabaret stars Sugar St Claire, Elle Sejean and more. Rising new burlesque stars will be debuted onto the renowned Butterfly Club stage, including Rosa Fox, Lady Kiva, With a K, Assassin and Ella va Thyme.

While they have danced together for years, The Cheese Girls were formed in 2014, appearing in Melbourne Fringe Festival, Perth Fringe Festival and The Australian Burlesque Festival, in addition to producing their own variety and trivia shows around Melbourne. They consist of 50% science, 50% business and 100% babes. Red hot fire-cracker Tiki Amazon, co-founder of the award winning all female circus Chest of Wonders, also holds a PhD in biomedicine and genetics. The ever-graceful Taffy, a former acrobat, is also a neuroscientist, with a Masters in Research and just beginning her PhD. Bodacious Loli Box has been dancing since she could walk and teaches burlesque at Melbourne's fiercest school of dance- Bottoms Up Pole and Burlesque in Brunswick. Saucy Ginger Snapz, the perfect combination of sexy and sweet, mastered both the art of tap dance and Japanese rope bondage, and also owns her own business. Together they are a ferocious combination of brains, beauty, and burlesque, with a unique style of comedy that will bring you to your knees.
