BenDeLaCreme, the award-winning theatre and film producer, comedian, director, writer, and global drag icon, will host the queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese’s Nocturnelle 2026 UK & European tour. A full list of Nocturnelle tour dates can be found below. Tickets can be purchased here.
With Nocturnelle, Dita Von Teese unveils a blend of old-Hollywood allure, theatrical magic, and the high-art “stripscapes” Dita is known for. Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, this production conjures a world of wonder where sensuality meets magic. The Nocturnelle tour follows Dita’s record-breaking Glamonatrix tour, which remains the biggest touring burlesque show of all-time, spanning multiple continents over a five-year period.
BenDeLaCreme says, “As a lover of burlesque and a long time admirer of Dita’s artistry, this is truly a dream come true! I am incredibly honored that this titan of tease has asked me to host her monumental new production! Watch out world, cuz there’s no way to prepare for the Dita/DeLa one-two punch!”
Dita Von Teese says, “As a big fan, I’m absolutely over the moon to have BenDeLaCreme join forces with me, leading the Nocturnelle tour as our host. I know audiences will adore the glamorous hilarity of DeLa just as much as I do. I cannot wait to kick off this tour with one of my favorite queens in showbiz!”
For audiences across North America, BenDeLaCreme will be touring this fall alongside Jinkx Monsoon in the 8th iteration of The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show. Visit here for info and tickets.
