Burlesque & Beyond 2026

This year will be the 20th presentation of Burlesque-n-Beyond, Philadelphia. "The Past is Prologue" BNB Philly began in 2007 officially attached within the fringe-funded programming. El Vez, The Wau Wau Sisters, Dana Snyder, The Love Show, the Peek-A-Boo Revue and many others were booked that season - the very next year there would be no fringe money or grant money (at least) NOT for a Late Nite Cabaret, mind you Feastival tripled it's scale (ahem). Well, it's been a looooong strange friggin trip! Now gearing up for the 20th season, we look forward to showcasing what Philadelphia has become. Let's share what makes us unique. Just as important, we look forward to guests from outta town, bringing their craft and spirit TO US! The more you read, the better you become as a writer. Likewise, within burlesque: 'the more you see performed on-stage, the better you will become as an on-stage performer! ticket links are coming soon on the official Franky Bradley's show page Yes, its FREE to attend butt (and its a big butt) we can only have 140 folks in the space... So Safety First Please join us for our 20th season as "North America's Only Free Festival for Cabaret-Culture" @ B. West - inside the labyrinth of Franky Bradleys Produced by Scott Johnson!
