Lily’s background in performing includes lessons in modern dance, ballet, gymnastics and cheerleading for the Worcester Wolves basketball team. She attended an extra curricular acting school and performed at The Big Youth Theatre Festival.
As a teenager, Lily developed an interest in retro glamour and burlesque and began attending shows. After a brief stint of performing burlesque whilst living in Melbourne in early 2012, it was in July 2015 when living back in the UK that she decided to take up burlesque again after a promoter approached her to perform improvised routines alongside a live band.
Lily has continued to use her creativity and skills to devise and develop new routines, create costumes and build confidence as a performer. She has taught hen parties, life modelled for artists and collaborated with photographers. She completed an emcee course by Rubyyy Jones in 2018 and has now began hosting. She produced and hosted her first ‘Sunday Best’ event in December 2018; a body positive, sex positive and queer friendly varietease showcasing burlesque, boylesque, drag and pole performers.
