Our productions have taken us all over the world and our varied client base keeps us up to date with the latest trends and techniques in both events and media.

Here are some of our best known clients:

MoB Management:

We act as artiste managers for a very select few, taking a comprehensive and dedicated interest in their personal creative vision, public profile and oeuvre development.

As active managers, Ministry Of Burlesque regard both attitude and aptitude in equal measures as an indicator of a successful and sustainable career in entertainment. We enjoy a close, one to one relationship with our select artistes and creative team players.

MoBstars:

With the ever increasing size of our Ministry of Burlesque membership and the coinciding demand for opportunities to perform, we regularly host events such as ‘Movers and Shakers’ and ‘High Tease’ which are designed to discover emerging talent and celebrate the established, respectively.

Because of our centralised position as the hub of the burlesque and cabaret world, Ministry Of Burlesque can provide excellent personal recommendations from the cherry picked performers whom we have had the best personal experience.

It is of interest to note that the majority of burlesque clubs and agencies tend to source their acts through our Ministry of Burlesque and that the majority of newcomers launch themselves on our community too. The site itself is tends also to act as the main source of traffic for similar, copycat and tribute style sites.

MoB Media works in three ways.

This entailed a two camera shoot, cinematographer and a cast of 4 professional tutors.

Another example is our self written Victorian Values stage show. After a sell out run in the summer of 2007, Ministry Of Burlesque is in the process of adapting the concept and characters in order to create a six-part comedy series for television.
