Burlesque Improv Hydra Performing Arts Festival 2026

Kamloops Burlesque presents Burlesque Improv

Chimera Theatre's Hydra Performing Arts Festival 2026

Show Description:

After over 15 years of carefully curated, meticulously rehearsed productions, Kamloops Burlesque is throwing the security blanket out the window!

Welcome to Burlesque Improv, where performers spin the wheel to discover their music, draw a mystery prop, and have just minutes to prepare before taking the stage. The song might be sultry burlesque perfection or an absolute nightmare to strip to. The prop might be a classic chair or… something considerably less helpful.

This is no half-assed production. It’s a high-stakes experiment in creativity, confidence, and improvisation - and absolutely nobody knows what's coming next.

Will it be brilliant? Will it be a hysterical disaster? Come watch us find out.

Length: 45 mins

Audience Rating: 19+

Artist Bio:

Kamloops Burlesque is one of Kamloops' longest-running ongoing theatrical experiences. In January 2026, we celebrated 15 years of presenting unique, locally focused shows throughout the year.

Every showcase is an original production, created and produced locally, featuring a diverse range of performers, performance styles, and themes. Rooted in burlesque's rich history as a revolutionary art form, Kamloops Burlesque is committed to honouring its rebellious spirit, pushing boundaries, and keeping the art form vibrant, accessible, and evolving.
