4th COLOGNE BURLESQUE FESTIVAL - International Extravaganza of Burlesque, Boylesque and Queer Cabaret
About the event
Doors open: 5:30 PM seated COLOGNE - You asked for it!! The energy you gave us back was sensational. We have more fun nowhere else in Germany than in the Rhenish metropolis, and that's putting it mildly. That's why the Cologne Burlesque Festival is coming back and getting naked :) . After three sold-out festivals in 2023, 2024 and 2025, we are delighted to once again transform the legendary GLORIA Cologne into a decadent palace of Neo-Burlesque with feather fans, opulent robes, and tons of glitter. We once again present the most exclusive international burlesque show stars, a different new lineup on both days, artists of all kinds and all genders in the style of the great Parisian role models Crazy Horse, Folies Bergère and Moulin Rouge. Berlin and Frankfurt were just the beginning - Cologne celebrates international burlesque and variety art in a very special way and gets carried away by dance, singing, theater, burlesque, drag (travesty), boylesque, cabaret, acrobatics and diversity. Not far from the former Vaudeville Theater in Schildergasse, the festival celebrates the stylish art of undressing and the humorous portrayal of contemporary short stories wrapped in glitter, glamour, and champagne. Look forward to a festival of the senses and reserve your seats in the front rows NOW.
