"Professional, funny, beautiful and with a wicked sense of humour! The Boneshakers are a massive addition to any night, burlesque or otherwise!"
Bella Besame - Burlesque Performer, Promoter and founder of the Slippery Belle Burlesque
I make up 1/3 of the Leeds based Burlesque Troupe 'The Boneshakers', a three peice troupe with now over a years experience and with many well known gigs/venues under their belt. Specialising in both neo & classic style acts, ranging from comedy skit style routines to more dance orientated strip tease, The Boneshakers are known for their mischeif, bawdy humour and will bring an exciting range of routines to suit your night, themed or otherwise..
While I do perform as a group I also perform single routines, again ranging from neo to classic depending on the occasion! Some of these routines inc;
The Cat in the Hat
A classic cheeky routine, Dr Zeuss' favorite feline has had enough of having the blame put her on constantly and takes her mischievous ways to another level revealing more than just her troublesome nature!
Go-go Wolf-girl
While sifting through the remains of her latest victim (and meal) this curious wolfgirl happens to catch sight of her reflection, shocked and alarmed she attempts to rid herself of all that fur, not without making a few bumps & grinds along the way.
The Last Unicorn
A classic routine with a modern twist. The life of a Unicorn is carefree, graceful & filled with glitter, everything seems so peaceful until she realizes she's next on the extinction list, she decides not to go down without a fight, this glittery equine soon conjures the perfect plan, glitter & shakes aplenty.
Pour a little sugar on me!
A cheeky cheesecake inspired routine, a peaceful picnic is interrupted by a unwanted guest, a rather cheeky ant, whose craving for sugar send her on a rather interesting sugar high.
The Mad Scientist
A B movie classic, complete with slapstick runarounds and crude props. An eccentric scientists new project awakes with from a blast of electricity, the reincarnated Burlesque dancer soon becomes familiar with her old dances moves(and what's under her skirt) but not without a craving for human brains. Watch as this creepy & undead dame attempts to feast upon the poor scientists brains, using her moves to edge closer, soon both scientist and specimen are shimmying around the laboratory.

And the rest..
When I'm not donning stockings & trying not to fall over in heels that are too high for my own good I study Graphic Design in Leeds.
I'm the least graceful person there is but try to see my clumbsyness in a endearing sort of way, you're more than likely to catch me with a pint of cider in hand rather than a glass of wine. I'm a vegetarian and adore all animals, except sharks & moths, which scare me beyond belief. I sleep a ridiculous amount for a human being and hate the sound of an alarm clock. I've already succumbed to that fact I will end up as a 'cat lady' happily living alone with her thousands of cats while the locals make up stories about me being a witch, it all sounds good to me. I have a bit of a fetish for hipbones & glasses on males and my heart can be won with playfighting, although currently it's reserved for Gordon Ramsey.
