AboutVelma Von Bon Bon is a Veritable Tour de Force in Neo-burlesque hilarity!
Voted in the top 50 burlesque performers in the flippin' world 2015 and 2016 and top 10 UK Burlesque Performers for the past three years running by readers of 21st Century Burlesque Magazine 21stcenturyburlesque.com/burlesque-top-50-2016-30-21/ An English rose plucked from a pop culture nonsense garden, Velma's unique take on burlesque fuses comedy and glamour in what she likes to call "Glomedy" (please humour her, it makes her feel like a scientist, very silly we know but she does look good in a white coat). Endearingly silly and daintily sexual, Velma has been setting stages alight (not literally) since 2009. She has ridden her oversized flamingo and peddled her monkey organ quite literally all over the UK. Recently she has spread her fantastical delights across to Europe, performing in Switzerland and at the International Stockholm Burlesque Festival. Velma's acts are as unique as her sweet self and guarantee to raise a smile, several in fact, perhaps even the odd belly laugh. Who said sexy can't be funny at the same time? (seriously, who said that, we'll rough 'em up burly style) Sexy. Funny. All That. Banner artwork by Christian Wildgoose http://christianwildgoose.blogspot.co.uk/ |
