Event Details

Bump and grind enthusiasts mark your calendar for Texas Burlesque Festival 2026!

May 15-16th at the Rollins Theatre at The Long Center! Doors 7pm Show 8pm nightly

Featuring Burlesque Hall of Fame reigning Queen of the Tease Jessebelle Thunder and San Francisco based Legend Madame E!!

Hosted by Austin’s own World Famous * BOB * (Saturday), Nikki DaVaughn (Friday), and featuring local award-winning troupe The Bat City Bombshells ( Friday)

plus over 40 tassel twirlers and queens and kings of the tease from across Texas, the US and the World!

This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on, while the performers are taking theirs off for YOU! Audiences are encouraged to hoot, holler and spur them on in their tantalizing strip tease performances, that range from classic glove and garter peels to crazy comedic takes on pop culture icons. If you have never experienced a burlesque performance or even if you have, this is THE burlesque event of the year!

We are proud and excited to announce we will have ASL interpreters for all nights of the festival!
