About Us

Bringing the heat to Vancouver Island

Established in 2019, Isle of Tease Burlesque Festival brings its audiences award winning global performers, and local dynamos alike. ITBF celebrates Indigenous artists, performers of colour, artists of all ages, sizes and body types, 2SLGBTQ+ artists and many more artists from a wide range of backgrounds. The event includes two nights of electrifying burlesque showcases held at the Victoria Conference Centre in Victoria, BC., workshops taught by world renowned burlesque artists and performers, and exclusive community events!

The Isle of Tease Burlesque Festival is committed to representing the diverse intersections of our community, and curating safer and inclusive spaces to the best of our ability. For more information on how we intend to uphold that commitment please see our community policies link below.

The Isle of Tease Burlesque Festival respectfully acknowledges that these events take place on the stolen and unceded lands of the Lekwungen People of the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations.
