An essential workshop for professional performers.

Does this sound like you?

​

Struggling to get bookings? surrounded by peers who seem consistently booked?

You don't know where to start to create an original act?

You have amazing act ideas but no idea how to create the costume or find the perfect track?

Do you feel invisible in the industry and unable to grow a Social Media following?

or are you just lacking confidence as a drag / cabaret / or burlesque performer?

​

What if you could:

​

• Feel more confident from act creation through to the stage?

• Increase the number and the quality of your bookings?

• Know what pay to ask for, and how to get it?

• Find your USP and performer brand, and use that to feel more visible in the market?

• Have the tools at hand to become a creative, successful, original performer?

​

It can be a reality - let me be your Glamazon Fairy Godmother!

More Testimonials:

"Thank you so much for running what was such an incredibly empowering and illuminating day. Not just to learn from some industry experts (who in truth I have IG stalked for ages!) but also to get to connect with other brilliant and creative women who are also starting or on this wonderful glitter filled/mad path"

Vixen Victoire

"Lady May's Teaser's Toolkit is a must for burly starlets new to the scene. I had a fabulously fun and informative day learning not just basics of the burly business, but tricks of the trade too. Any new performer knows that performing is super swell....but what about the nitty-gritty of promoting ones self,staying inspired and making your millions? Lady May spoiled us with salacious brains from the burly business who gave valuable and concise lectures on creativity, finance and costume to name just a few. I left feeling excited,inspired,savvy and revved up for my next gallactic burly adventure! Super grateful."

Venus Gallactica

"It was such a pleasure to be asked along and I had such a wonderful day!

Bravo to you for creating this brilliant wonderful thing"
