Burlesque & Variety Extravaganza and The Classic Performer Competition
Presented by Kansas City Burlesque, LLC
Presale March 25 at 10am (with code)
Public On Sale, March 27 at 10am
“Anything goes” to classic accompaniment, all happening on the historic Folly Theater stage, where Gypsy Rose Lee got her start, and Tempest Storm, along with many more Legends have performed!
The best, comedic, satiric, and scrumptious is variety and burlesque! Fire, Aerial, Acrobatic, Sideshow and MORE are prime for the first half of this extravagant show! For the second half of the show, a handful of top competitors will perform accompanied by our live jazz band, bringing classic burlesque to life in the historic Folly Theater, sweeping Kansas City off its feet! Our panel of judges will select the best performance and crown our 2026 Queen of the Kansas City Burlesque Festival.
