With the variety of incredible shows on offer at this year’s FRINGE WORLD Festival, it can feel overwhelming deciding where to begin. If you’re a fan of high-energy performances, pure talent (comedic and of the dance/pole variety) and burlesque with a twist, Kings Of Boylesque: Revolution is for you.

Prepare to fall down a glittery rabbit hole, to meet a cast of extremely talented kings from all over Oz, guided by, "Your boy from Ballajura", Karl Kayoss. Expect 60 minutes of non-stop entertainment as the kings welcome you into their fantastical world and show you how the boys do burlesque. 

No matter if your vibe is more 80s fluro nostalgia, Parisian chic, or you’re simply a fan of incredibly graceful and unique local talent, this is a must-see show.

From classic bejewelled bodysuits with matching nipple tassels to Rapunzel-length beards and budgie smugglers, the kings are committed to serving in every aspect of their performance. I, for one left inspired to embrace any occasion that lets me be that bit more extra. 

This year marks the king’s sixth year at FRINGE Festival and I can’t wait to see what they do next. Grab your tickets now!
