Vanguard Burlesque

Vanguard Burlesque Brisbane's premier burlesque and variety event. Presented by Lillian Lace. Celebrating 13 Years.

Vanguard is a monthly burlesque and variety show at La La Land, Brisbane. Vanguard Burlesque operated at The Manhattan Club in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley in the later half of 2013 before the club's closure. During this period, Vanguard was a huge success, selling out all five of it’s shows held at the venue, and solidified itself as Brisbane’s premiere Burlesque variety event. Vanguard Burlesque

boasts hand picked performers for each specialty event, and has hosted a selection of internationally recognised performers. Vanguard showcases both neo and traditionally classic burlesque routines, with each show comprised of different veteran performers, combined with stand up comedy during performance intervals. The Fox Hotel also played host to Vanguard Burlesque as part of their NYE warehouse party, which saw it’s allocated floor the most popular in the venue all throughout the night. In 2014 and 2015 Vanguard Burlesque was the face of Brisbane Powerhouse's Wonderland Festival and was the fastest selling show of the season. 2016 saw a number of shows at Cloudland and The Empire Hotel and finishing off the year with another season of sell out shows at Brisbane's Powerhouse for it's annual Wonderland Festival. Vanguard Burlesque returned in 2017 with a residency at The Wickham Hotel, a fourth Wonderland season, and a fifth in 2019. Post COVID, Vanguard now operates at La La Land and Lefty's Music Hall in Brisbane.
