Lola Handles

Lola Handles is a curvaceous powerhouse burlesque performer and host who brings her strong character skills to every stage.

With vintage glamour, a playful sense of humour, and a sprinkling of campness, Lola creates acts that are equal parts flirtation, storytelling, and joyful mischief. She combines her witty sense of humour and life experiences as a mum and neurodivergent business owner to create powerfully emotive acts as well as deliciously cheeky ones.

She brings a warm “big sister meets panto troublemaker” energy to the stage, rallying the room with quick wit, heartfelt encouragement, and the occasional cheeky audience interaction.

Trained with The Cheek Of It Burlesque School back in 2023, she has since graced the stages like Proud Embankment, The Phoenix Arts Club, The Cavendish Arms and The Bedford. Performing with independents, charity gigs and Cabaret Provocateur. She has also competed with Burlesque Idol.
