Capturing those incredible moments and giving us memories to look back on.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Night at the Movies such a special night. Live shows are a team effort, and we’re incredibly lucky to have such a brilliant one.

A big part of making Burlesque Bonanza happen is having the perfect place to bring it all together... ❤️

Today we’re showing some love to our fantastic venue, The Manhattan Club.

From the moment we started planning Night at the Movies, The Manhattan Club has given us the space to create something a little bit different, bringing together performers, audiences, music and plenty of glitter under one roof.

Thank you for welcoming Burlesque Bonanza and helping us create a brilliant home for our shows. We’re excited for many more nights of mischief to come. ✨

📸

It’s not just the performers who make Burlesque Bonanza what it is... ❤️

We also love giving a little space to some fantastic independent businesses who join us on the night.

At Night at the Movies we were joined by Rhapsody Pasties, Bean Towed and Portly Black Cat, who brought along their wonderful goodies and helped add a little extra something to the evening. They also kindly donated prizes to our raffle, helping us raise even more for MSF.

Thank you for being part of the night and supporting what we do. ✨

📸

Behind every Burlesque Bonanza there are people who make the magic happen... ❤️

Today we’re celebrating Andy Dennis, MSF field nurse, Bonanza team member and the reason these shows exist.

Andy is a huge part of bringing each event to life, helping us run the night while also sharing the incredible work of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). His experiences from the field remind us why we come together to raise money, have a brilliant time and support such an important cause.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything Andy does, both on the night and far beyond the stage. Thank you for inspiring us to make a difference, one sparkly show at a time. ✨
